please substitute plus for 27.5 and you'll find that this review reads like a
27.5 review from a few years back. More traction, playful, etc
I think to get a better understanding of plus you should compare it to a 29er,
I don't think its benefits translate as effectively when doing this,
especially when you factor in 29er tyres mounted to 30-35mm internal width
rims.
Bottom line is soon the bike industry will drop a category from 27.5, 27.5
plus and 29. What category it will be I don't know, but part of me thinks that
27.5 is now very similar to 26" wheels, not as grippy as plus and not as fast
as 29.
