Mountain bikers, for the most part, are in unanimous agreement when it comes to bike tech, disk brakes are better, full suspension is faster and 1X drivetrains are the only option. There is one point of contention though, wheel size. Which has divided the riding community since around 2001 when Gary Fisher started pushing bigger wheels.
Things might have settled somewhat since the convulsive early days of 29-inch wheels, however, there are still some brands that are shaking things up. Yeti are one of them, adding a third 27.5-inch bike to their lineup, the SB135.
