The advent of 650B/27.5" has transformed how we see adventure bikes. Rivalling cyclocross bikes for efficiency, and cross-country mountain bikes for versatility, this wheel size speaks beyond their smaller size. Paired with a 2.0"/50mm tyre, the outside diameter will equate to that of a 700C wheel with a 28mm tyre - a feature that the latest gravel and adventure bikes take huge advantage of.
