 Who does not love a good infographic! Check ou the new Nextie Vista range The Vista Edition has been completely redesigned with an emphasis on mountain cycling characteristics. In terms of design, on the one hand, we have increased the thickness of the rim lip from 3.0-3.5mm thick in Premium Edition to 4.0mm in Vista Edition, which greatly increases the impact resistance and ensures the required strength for mountain cycling.
On the other hand, the depth of the Vista Edition rims is adjusted to only 20mm, which can increase the toughness of the mountain wheels, thereby improving the comfort of mountain riding. The feature of asymmetric model has become the mainstream of bicycle wheels with its huge advantage of balancing the spoke tension of the wheels. Therefore, we design the Vista Edition rims as asymmetric model. In the Vista Edition update, we have launched a total of three sizes, 29-inch 38mm, 29-inch 35mm and 29-inch 33mm, to adapt to different sizes of tires and different riding forms. Not everyone wants subtle! These stunning Chromium Nextie graphics would really add a touch of bling to any bike!    I make no secret of the fact that I love Plus tyres, whether it be 29er or 27.5/650b the ride quality, simplicity and weight saving is faster, smoother and is far more user friendly both in the workshop and especially out on the trail for pretty much all enviroments. (Unless you prefer a more gravity rich playground). Saying that the Maxxis Ikons 27.5 x 2.8 I have/had on my Travers RUSSTi EVO are almost bald and have served me well over the last almost 3 years but with winter approaching it is time for a change. The one area that the Plus (and fat) tyres are not that great in is mud, especially hard pack with a layer of greasy crud. So....the Ikons have been binned and replaced with a set of Continental Cross Kings 27.5 x 2.2. Luckily when building up the RUSSTi EVO I had planned to do this and specced the Nextie Premium 41mm rims which can handle most tyres sized up to 3" As you can see the from the photo below the Ikons 2.8 are quite a bit larger and measure 69mm on the 41mm rims and the Cross kings come in at 57mm. There is only a 12mm (17%) difference but that isnt the full story, the Ikon have a larger volume and thus a larger outer diameter so the ride and feel is quite different. You can feel the Cross Kings are much harsher due to the lack of volume but do cut through the mud better and give more of a bite in the slippery corners.  With the lower speed and the extra cushioning due to the softer surfaces its worth the compromises but come the drier months the Plus tyres will be straight back on!
