We just got back from Europe so while I am still fresh on the bike I am going to figure out which of my DH bikes are faster. That way I can go into the offseason with a fresh mind and move forward on my bike for next year. We are going to start training and testing in the early winter so I would like to be confident on the bike I am going to ride next year.

I think this comment answers the question... riding at “warp speed”
27.5 bikes aren’t faster and they never will be. That being said I think the average person can benefit more from riding a 27.5 bike. It’s just easier to ride in a lot of situations and can make the ride more enjoyable. Think about skiing - no one uses super g and downhill race skis as their daily skis for a reason. Idk why we want to use the bikes racers use.

Would love to see a ski resort after manufacturers stop making 155-180s.
"205's are scientifically proven to be more stable at speed so we're moving all production to size 205. " Would pay MONEY to sit a few hundred yards below mid-station on MLK Day weekend. 😆

Mullet 29/27 should be faster than straight 27 while giving up some flickability, no?
There are 27/26 vs 27 comparisons out there in the bowels of various forums from 2016, but I couldn't find a video on those or the straight 27 vs 29/27.
I really like my 29 trail/enduro bikes and their ability to monster-truck all the things. As Mulally says, the 29 is great for a less aggressive riding style and carrying speed, which works great for me.
