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

Mountain bike wheels have been rapidly growing in size since the dawn of the sport. Not too long ago we were racing 26" wheels on downhill bikes and thought they were the fastest option. 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+ 👉 https://gmbn.eu/mtb23 🛍 NEW MTB Bike Maintenance Book 👉 https://gmbn.eu/MTBMaintenanceBook Racing Highlights & More On GMBN Racing 👉 https://gmbn.eu/GMBNracing Watch Shorts on GMBN 👉 https://gmbn.eu/GMBNshorts Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://upload.gmbn.com/ Sign-up to our newsletter 👉 https://gmbn.eu/newsletter What size are your mountain bike wheels?
