Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I put 27.5'' wheels on my 2022 Instinct Powerplay?
- We do not recommend swapping your wheel size to 27.5 at this time. The smaller wheel size will lower the frame's bottom bracket height, resulting in a higher likelihood for pedal strikes. Additionally, the smaller wheel size has not been programmed in the current software; meaning the bike will travel slower, approximately 1.5 mph.
- Can I make my 2022 Instinct Powerplay a mullet?
- As mentioned above, the rear triangle of the new 2022 Powerplay models are designed around a 29'' wheel size. Running a smaller wheel in the rear will result in a lower bottom bracket, increasing your likelihood of pedal strikes, and is not recommended.
