Weknow by now that not only is Blake a big advocate of the hardtail, but also that he spends a lot of his time riding them. He's always blasting around on hLoudestpipes • 4 yr. ago. I'm 6'2" and have both 29er and 27.5 for my Scott Genious. The differences are exactly as you stated, however, I'd add that the 29er gives about 6 mm more ground clearance over the 27.5. For me, the add'l ground clearance yields less or no pedal strikes for the 29er. Although this is not a very big deal, when I have 26 is like Latin. Some people still use it but it’s more or less dead. General rule of thumb: 27.5= more agile, better for tight twisty trails 29= more speed and better roll over, better for chunky trails. Frame design also comes into play as well so it’s not all about the tires. 10. Thisis the main advantage of a 27.5" bike, as it's goal is to utilize the advantages of both 26" & 29er bikes. • More forgiving than 26" bikes. • Larger wheels mean less suspension
Winner– 26er. Borrowing a bit from the point above, saving weight on your Mountain Bike comes with loads more benefits. The lighter weight 26er will is going to be the clear winner for this category. Since 29ers are heavier than 26ers, a 26er is going to be a lot nimbler and more maneuverable than the 29er.

Themost pronounced difference was found on asphalt and gravel (harder surfaces) at lower tyre pressures. Powering the 26-inch wheel uphill at 20km/h on asphalt required 214.3-watts while the 29er only took 206.4-watts. That’s 7.9-watts less energy loss in the 29er—approximately 4% difference.
