Howwww much?!

I know Gary Fisher's on record advocating bigger than 29er wheels, but this is quite the waggon:

It'll turn like a tanker

The rollover will be great. No one will even feel it as mountain biking rides off a cliff.

It definitely appears to be a Thing...

Truebike's 36in wheeled monster truck is a sight to behold

Carbon rims, 100mm inverted forks and stanchion mounted bars set this bike apart

The 36er MTB - Too Much of a Good Thing? — Rox Ramblings

I remember when 29ers became mainstream and a debate raged on whether 29 inches was just too much. There were plenty of people arguing that the 29er was only suitable for taller riders (six-foot plus) and the inertia caused by those big hoops meant these lanky steeds would only ever be suitable for

Honestly never heard/seen this until now. At 5'7 wiht shetland pony stumps, it's not an evolutionary branch of cycling I'll be worrying any time soon!

Rather limiting in tyre choice. Ypu can have a unicycle tyre for the front and a unicycle tyre for the back. Thats your choice.

When an industry runs out of ways to resell the same old ideas, they are forced to come up with stupid new ones.

It'll sell just as fast as IQ's are dropping.

They are a thing for the taller riders such as basket ball players https://www.pinkbike.com/news/dirtysixer-make-lebron-james-a-custom-36-mountain-bike.html

Given it’s the only other readily available size above 29er, unless you get a tyre company to custom make some rubber you’ve got no hope to get any other size wheel bike. I feel it is really only beneficial for the taller riders out there, as 29” is more than sufficient. However I wonder how many people said that about 29” when it was first banded around!

Those sorts of analogies with 29 in a lot of the comments sections.

Even so, I can only, sort of, see it with the curve titanosaur link above - for 6'5 plus athletes to munch intergalactic miles on those bone shaker corrugated Aussie out back roads. Barking for anybody/anything else.

Having said that, I said the spice girls were going nowhere the first time I saw them on top of the pops, so maybe lay a few quid on this becoming the next standard!
