MTB vs 36 Wheel Bike | Are Bigger Wheels The Future Of Mountain Biking

The argument now is 27.5“ or 29“ wheels or even a mix of both! Blake thought he'd throw another contender into the ring, a monster 36“. Is this the future of mountain biking or a step too far? ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 00:00 - Intro 00:31 - The Bike 05:06 - Climbing On A 36“ Wheeled Bike 06:56 - Car Park Tricks On A 36“ Wheeled Bike 08:44 - Descending A Blue On A 36“ Wheeled Bike 11:48 - Descending A Black On A 36“ Wheeled Bike 13:39 - Cup Of Tea And A Chat Useful Links: Watch The UCI MTB World Series Elite Racing On GCN 👉 🛍 NEW MTB Bike Maintenance Book 👉 Racing Highlights & More On GMBN Racing 👉 Watch Shorts on GMBN 👉 Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 Sign-up to our newsletter 👉 What size are your mountain bike wheels?
