Switch & Ride: A new concept!
Switch and Ride:One bike, many rides
The Switch & Ride system is easy: a mountain bike frame compatible with 3 wheel sizes.
1/ You choose your Switch and Ride compatible mountain bike in 27.5", 27.5"+, or 29".
2/ You add a 2nd or 3rd pair of wheels.
3/ Enjoy all terrains!
Why use 27.5" wheels?
Each wheel size has an advantage:
The 27.5" provide the best manoeuvrability and propulsion on windy, technical trails.
The 29" wheels increase your speed and inertia on smoother terrain.
The 27.5" Plus wheels improve power transfer and traction on technical terrain.
With just one mountain bike and several wheel sizes, you can easily adapt its performance based on terrain and weather...
