I don't see 27 non-plus going away for dual suspension, for people who actually want to go fast.

I spoke with 2 pro level riders in the last week who both said they set new personal records on local trails on 27+.

I was a huge skeptic. I admit it. But I am hooked.

26plus!
I hate full suspension 29ers. The 27+ is the same diameter just heavier to make everything worse. F that.
Until someone makes a fs 27+ or 29 with sub 17" chain stays, I'm out.
Wait, you can't fix the horrific bb drop. NEVER SURRENDER.

If I want to shred trails in kinda fat tires, a 27.5" OD is where its at. That's 26plus.
 
I think that the plus size will most defiantly make in the DH world. To many pros outweigh the cons. If they can get the tires to not blow off the rims then you will start seeing them in the next few years.

Hans Rey has been posting pics on instagram of 27 x 3" tires on his GT Fury. He is raving about it.

Kind of like how 29 was definitely going to make it to the DH world? 27.5+ is 29 with way more casing roll. Great for straight line monster trucking, cornering no so much.

This is the way that all the industry types are seeing things going.

27" (non plus) will fade to DH and big hit spec.

27+ / 29er bikes will drop down to hardtails around 1000ish of 2017 and across the board for dual sus bikes.
