In conclusion…<br />
Whew! That was a marathon amount of riding and writing<br />
there is a test after this, so we hope that you payed attention!<br />
Do you REALLY need a 21 inch front wheel? Well no!<br />
Most people who ride ADV bikes will probably never do<br />
what we did.<br />
Whilst a 21” front wheel will clear obstacles better than<br />
19” due to a bigger rolling circumference, and is better<br />
in thick sand, 21” front wheels are not essential on dirt.<br />
How often does the average rider actually encounter very<br />
tough conditions? And we’ve taken 19” through just about<br />
anything that the 21” can. Ask anyone who has done the<br />
GS Trophy…<br />
Adventure riding is about getting to more remote areas no<br />
matter the ro<strong>ad</strong> surface, if the surfaces get very tough, just<br />
take it easy. There are very few <strong>ad</strong>venture bikes available<br />
these days with 21” front wheels.<br />
If a 21” front wheel was that essential for <strong>ad</strong>venture riding<br />
a lot more brands would have them available, so, don’t let<br />
a 19” front wheel limit your choices….<br />
