29 inch tires have quickly become the most popular tire size for mountain bikes by far. Together with wider handlebars and 1x drivetrains they’ve completely revolutionized the way we can conquer any type of terrain.
It’s no wonder that in terms of sales it completely trumps both 26 inch tires, and 27.5 inch tires, with some sources claim outpacing them 10 to 1 or more.
We’ve covered every 29 inch tire you can think of. So besides classic options for disciplines like XC, downhill, enduro, and trail riding, we’ve also covered slick mountain bike tires, gravel tires, tan-wall tires, and bikepacking tires.
