<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cWomen are getting after it and riding a variety of trails – our rider feedback reflected a desire to have the Rumor available in both 29 and 650b due to the vast array of trails women are riding, so we\u2019re excited to add this bike to our trail family,\u201d said Amy Nelson, Women\u2019s Mountain Product Manager.<\/p>\n
What are the ride differences between the two wheel sizes? The Rumor 650b offers 130mm of travel and is designed to handle tight and twisty turns with grace, provide quick handling over steep and technical terrain, while remaining agile and responsive. The Rumor 29 offers 120mm of travel and provides the rider with increased rolling distance with each pedal stroke, rolling easily over rocks and roots while remaining stable and efficient.<\/p>\n Because so much attention was paid to dialing in the perfect geometries, rider-height shouldn\u2019t be a determining factor in the riders\u2019 wheel-size choice. For riders unsure of what wheelsize is best for them, the team suggests evaluating your style of riding and looking at the terrain being ridden. The Rumor 29 shines on open and rocky trails, while the Rumor 650b excels on tighter, twisty single track. However, it\u2019s up to each individual and now women have the opportunity to choose what is best for them.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
