Are there any 26" full bikes on the market?

I’m thinking trail bikes say 140-150mm travel.

From what I have heard from normal people that I actually know I don’t really want 650b.

Stop being stupid & just buy the bike you want in 650b format

+1

If you are buying a full bike I see no reason to not get 650b

Orange make a 26″ alpine still but not sure if frame only.

I don’t want 650b so therefore I don’t want any 650b bikes.

I think commencal have just released a new 26″ bike

out of interest… why?

i suspect you wouldn’t even notice a difference

Speaking as someone who only has 26″ bikes, I fail to see where you are coming from. Buy a bike for the bike it is, not it’s wheel size.

I have 26″ spares so if anything goes wrong I can swap things around.

Either way I don’t want an argument about it. I’m just interested if there are still any 26″ full builds on sale.

Off to check out the commencal now.

think Kona also have a new 26 on the market

Evil uprising. Just happens to be sexy as hell too which is convenient.

Soul

Cotic Rocket……come soon/this year…..

New or used?

i think ROSE still do…. and those friggin ugly YT Industry things.

I heard 27.5 is the new 26 anyway…. I have a 26 and am currently feeling smug that in 6 months I will be ‘retro’ without a beard.

AV IT.

Plenty of cheap 26″ BSOs but high end, not many

Orange Alpine is going 650b now, Commencal seem to be having both

Damn,does this mean that nobody is going to make 26″ tyres anymore.
I am all worried now .

Transition are launching a whole new range for 2015, have seen pics, all new and a new 155mm 26″ bike

Spitfire.

One of the reasons I bought it was that it can be run either 26 or 650. Running it 26 at the moment safe in the knowledge that if I ever feel the need to go 650 I can.

Santa Cruz V10 is still 26″ 😉

Santa Cruz V10 is going 650b

Orange Alpine

I am all worried now .

Should I cancel my order for this then?

🙄

Oh I also believe Saracen do 26″ FRAME only full sus. nut might need to double check that

Oooh a new 26″ transition. Bit more travel than I need but sounds interesting. Any links/pictures?

The commencal v4 looks good but it also seems to be 650b. An evil is way too expensive. However I agree that it is lovely.

Spitfire looks fantastic but it if frame only and a tad heavy.

Can’t find any pics on the web, but it looks nothing like the current Transitions, and there is no Covert either!

Liteville 301?

I have 26″ spares so if anything goes wrong I can swap things around.

BRB, buying a bike because i have spare tyres and rims.

Is it safe to admit you still love your 26, even if its a trek?

Apparently not. Judging by this thread you need to jump on the bandwagon now.

Ibis HDR is a bit of both

Buy a 650b bike with a high BB and put 26″ wheels on it…

Your only creating a rod for your own back by ruling out 650b bikes

Sure your better off for spares now but in a few years time when your ne 26er is wearing out there will be even less top end 26 kit about

I could see the point if frame only but full bike theres some ace trail bikes out there and the majority just happen to be 650b

Embrace the future

I’ll sell you my whole rocket.

You may want to, the new one is 650b…

the bionicon edison evo..as it is in the NEWS…
same frame 26 and 650B but with different seatstays!!

and, I had a 650B frame…there is a difference between 26 and 650b
for this reason I stay with 26 and 29..

Btw I am aware the new alpine is 650b bit mentioned it as they still make a 26″ option.

Pivot 5.7 Carbon is 26 & about 140-150mm.

Its meant to be an excellent bike.

empire mx6 evo is available as a full bike in 26 or 27.5
