From experience, dual 32" didn't need any abnormal braking setup. I rode one with SLX 4 pot brakes, and although I dislike Shimano, they weren't bad with stopping power. Spin up and slowing down weren't substantially changed with the larger wheel size.

For riding steeps, I don't think 27.5 will go away for anyone remotely average height. Getting your rear buzzed by a 29er can be scary, I can imagine getting circular sawed by a 30.5/32 would be worse.

A reversed version of this wouldn’t look out of place on Reece’s bike

So this just came across my feed....steering linkage so you can have "shorter wheelbase, yet increased reach and stack".......apparently what's old is new again?

Also seems quite pointless to use a bigger rim (30.5") with a smaller tire just to come up with an effective wheel diameter that's got to be quite similar to the 29er you started with? In the end of the day it's the tire's OD that counts, not the number on the rim...

Don't forget that for a while we had bikes coming with aggressive tires like Minions and Bontrager XR4s in 29x3.0, which cleared Pikes and Lyriks at the time. Unscientifically, I can't imagine you're going to happily clear a 29x3.0 minion but not a 30.5x2.4 minion in the same fork.

Only way I’m interested is if I can stuff a 30.5 in my 29 fork. No chance I’m buying any new standards, especially when these goofs launch 2 new sizes at once.

So... Everyone's suddenly really ramping up on 30.5 eh? I just opened Instagram, and of course it reloaded half way through reading it and it's now lost to time, but from what I quickly saw was I believe Reserve having 30.5 wheels ready to go as they know it's going to be a thing. Think of the poor tire companies. Do you know how many DHF skus there will be lol.

I just prototyped that for REEB. Lots went into this update after learning a ton on the V1. Custom drawn tubing, refined 3D printed elements, huge improvement on pivot hardware and bearings. Both of your wishes are true! CS length is 7mm longer now, and stack came up 10mm. Still early in the prototype phase, some small things will get updated as they get more miles on it, but it's pretty dialed as is! Feel free to ask about anything else.

REEB just dropped a launch page for the Gen2 SST, Still flex stays, still 120mm travel, still steel. As a current SST owner, the only things I'd like to see longer stays and a some more stack. Linky: REEB SST Gen2

11/5/2026 11:06am By removable battery do you guys mean one that comes directly out of the downtube, as apposed to sliding out near the bb? And is it simply to remove for park or to swap on rides?

It's not straight up backwards compatible. First of all, it runs on a 43V architecture, in contrast to the previous generations which run on 36V. The mounting bolts are in the same locations, but the external form factor is not the same (significantly slimmer around the bottom, and other small differences here and there).
