For some time, we’ve mainly been testing the 29” version of the Carve, and had just a few rides with 27.5” wheels to compare the two options. Apart from some days in different Ligurian trails, the test was mainly carried out along high altitude alpine trails, where the Carve seemed to shine – on terrain with huge differences in height and various types of terrain and conditions.
