29 inch front, 27.5 inch rear: Crank Brothers relies on this mix

It's slow progress, but it's unstoppable: The wheel size mix on mountain bikes is gaining momentum. In the Downhill World Cup, many riders are successfully riding with a 29er wheel at the front and a 27.5er at the rear. Crank Brothers is also focusing on this mixed size and is rolling out wheel sets in 29/27.5" for downhill and enduro bikes.

With the Synthesis wheels, Crank Brothers has set a lot of independent innovation in motion. Now Crank Brothers is also focusing on the trend towards mixed sizes, i.e. bikes with 29er wheels at the front and 27.5-inch wheels at the rear. The advantages cited are better rollover behavior at the front and more grip thanks to a larger contact surface, as well as more agile handling at the rear. The size mix is available with the Synthesis E11 and DH11 wheels. Also on board and therefore fully up to date are the standard microspline from Shimano and the 157 millimeter installation width, also known as Superboost.
