MountainBike.com: How did Scott start looking into the 650b wheel size?
Adrian Montgomery: We all know the benefits of a
bigger wheel size, but we have discovered that the bigger wheel size
sets some limits when designing longer-travel full-suspension bikes, or
smaller frame sizes in general. We also found that when testing with
Nino Schurter that there were some fit disadvantages for a rider his
size as well as power disadvantages. That’s when we opted to test the
27.5-inch wheel size. We’re currently testing bikes from hardtails to
full-suspension models to obtain data we can compare to our current
line.
