FAQs



What size of tire is best for mountain biking?


When choosing tire size, there are several things to consider. The first thing to consider is the type of bike. Not all tire sizes are suitable for all bike frames. Also, when it comes to tire size, there are two measurements to consider, diameter and width. For example, a 27.5” x 2.6” tire has a 27.5 inch diameter and a 2.6 inch width. When it comes to mountain biking, size matters. However, bigger isn’t always better and the size of tire you choose will depend greatly on the kind of riding you do. If you plan to take your mountain bike on the trails, a larger tire diameter will afford a smoother ride. Tire width equals traction. Hence the fat bike tires. If you plan to ride muddy trails, you might want to opt for a wider tire for extra traction and grip.
