The 27.5+ makes those mattoc pros 29 capable or only 27.5?
Some add descriptions leave a lot to be desired...

I would suspect not 29. Like anyone would want 29 anyway?

n27.5+ & 29 are fairly close in diameter so i’d b saying yes, opinion only..no science to back it up

I just think they’d specify if 29 compatible. While not a huge difference, there’s enough....

Can’t wait for Felix to crack a factory team and get a full new latest 29er Superbeast and watch your emotional conflict

So it’s anyone guess which mattoc they are selling https://manitoumtb.com/product/mattoc-2/?cat_id=23

Bahahaha. I’ve never held him back, in my own defence. He was 27.5 long before me, and new frame that just arrived is Boost (I’ll use boost kit)...and unfortunately PF. That one hurts.

Yeah, does tend to lean it more to 27.5+/29”..but still ambiguous.

By the time Felix gets to the big scene, they will go to 26.5 wheels probably lol.

Might not even be 27.5+ considering wiggle are quoting the 27.5 offset number...
Quoted weight lines up with 27.5 rather than 27.5+ too.

Just thought I’d put this up as there seems to be a steady stream of people looking for a bike bag around these parts. It’s not mine but worth a look if you’re in Vic.

crc rekons it's ebike specific but given the tunability of modern air forks, worth a whirl for some cheap thrills.

Sure is, wonder what the difference is between ebike and non-ebike forks apart from a some specific tuning for seated pedaling?
'this specially engineered fork features dedicated damper tuning to assist you in ascending steep hills, transferring weight and from getting the most from riding in seated positions. '
E-bike specific probably means beefed up compression base tune - may suit your preferences. May be a heavier chassis casting also?

They have thicker stanchions and more crown material, and apparently use the size down's air spring.

FOX 34 E-bike Optimised Fork First Impressions
FOX have a new range of forks targeted specifically at the e-bike market. Featuring more material in the crown and using thicker walled legs, they're designed to handle the extra weight and speeds of an e-bike. Here are our first impressions.

Ahh, that explains the 2160g weight which is a bit porky compared to other 34's around the 1700g mark.
Might end up being perfect for the hucksters.
