What height is 27.5 bike for?

A 27.5-inch bike is good for what height? A mountain bike with 27.5” wheels is typically the right size for riders between 5’5” and 6’0”. The 27.5” tire and wheel size has become the new standard across quality mountain bikes because of its increased traction and speed over the older 26” wheels.

How do I know my mountain bike size?

Look for listed standover heights, and compare that number to your inseam. The difference between your inseam and the standover height should fall within the target ranges. (For example, if you have a 30” inseam, you’ll want a mountain bike with about a 28” standover height.)

Is it better to have 27.5 or 29 MTB?

Acceleration. 27.5 in. wheels have faster acceleration while 29ers are more efficient on longer rides. Smaller wheels accelerate faster than larger wheels.

Is 27.5 better for shorter riders?

We’re glad you asked. All other things being equal, 29ers generally have better traction, more efficient attack angles and better stability. On the other hand, 27.5-inch wheel bikes generally provide faster acceleration, are more agile, weigh less, and favor shorter riders.
