OVERVIEW
650 - What??? Another standard? Actually not quite. 650b sits slap bang in the middle of 26†and 29†wheels and has been around for some time. Current thinking is the 650b wheel is perfect for mid to long-travel suspension bikes. We evolved this thinking into our award-winning Zen trail hardtail bike. Ride feel is very similar to a 26†wheel bike but rolls over small bumps like a 29ner. Perhaps the best of both worlds – playful and flick-able, fast rolling and smooth. We certainly think it’s something you should try before you make your minds up based on armchair research. We give you the future of long travel. The Saracen Zen: ready to redefine a category it already wrote.
