MTB 29

The 29-inch MTBs, technically called MTB 29er, are precisely mountain bikes with 29-inch wheels, which at the moment is the largest standard among MTBs.

Until now, the wheels had always been 26 ", and only a 27.5" standard has recently been introduced, but 29er mtb are having great success, because a larger wheel has lots of advantages, especially for mountain bikes.

The 29 "wheels have the same standard, ISO 922, as the 28" wheels. It means that the 29 "rims, like the 28 rims, are both 700C, that is, the rim has a nominal diameter of 700.

The difference lies in the fact that the 29 "wheels are wider and therefore the tires must consequently be larger. Furthermore, even if the hub and the spokes have the same dimensions as the standard 26", the spokes of the mtb wheels 29 "are worn out like all the others but longer, therefore, always with the same materials and construction typology, they can be a little more subject to breakage.

The 29er mountain bike has a larger wheels than the others, which make a big difference in driving.

Before choosing a 29er frame bike it is important to consider the type of route that you mainly deal with on your bike. This wheel is recommended for long distances, for pedaling in a comfortable position and for safely tackling obstacles and difficult climbs.

The 29ers mountain bikes wheels are larger, more stable, heavier and offer greater grip on the ground. This is because the contact surface is greater.

29er wheels has undeniable advantages for cyclists. Firstly, these wheels allow you to overcome obstacles more easily. Secondly, having a firmer grip on the ground, they are suitable for rough paths and to tackle descents and climbs with less effort.

The 29er bikes are more comfortable for taller cyclists because the frame is larger, and consequently, the center of gravity moves backwards. But, with the proper precautions, such an equipped MTB becomes light and quick even for cyclists of shorter stature.
However, it is important to keep in mind the overall geometry of the bike and the balance between the various components.

29ers bikes wheels are heavier, safer, more stable. As a result, it is more expensive than the others, but offers driving safety and comfort while pedaling.
29 inch mountain bike is therefore ideal for long routes, where fatigue can make a difference. Furthermore, given their progressive diffusion, spare parts are becoming more and more available, at the expense of those for MTBs with 26 "wheels. This is an important factor, especially for those who have a passion for customization and often buy spare parts to replace obsolete parts or to make technical improvements.

The speed of travel is also a very important factor: with the same pedaling, the wheels for 29 bikes offer greater metric development. This means that, for each complete revolution of the pedal, the 29-inch wheels allow to travel a distance greater than 5% compared to the wheels with a diameter of 26 inches. Less effort and more kilometers traveled, therefore, to the benefit of races, time recovery and effort saving.

If it is the first purchase of a Mountain Bike with 29 wheels, you must know that the geometry of the bike is completely changed compared to the 26 '' MTB.

The handlebar will be wider, because the steering angle is more vertical, and the material of the wheel must also be considered. Tubeless and carbon wheels are more suitable because they add lightness.
