Conway shows: 29er All Mountain + Plus-Fully + Hardtail
Based on the Conway WME ("We make Enduro"), all-mountain fullys for 29er and 27.5+ with plenty of suspension travel are now being added. Also new: a plus-size and 29-inch compatible hardtail.

With the WME (We make Enduro), Conway immediately made a good entry into the Enduro sector. For fans of large wheels in the all-mountain sector, Conway will be launching two very interesting models from October. There will be two new all-mountain fullys based on the WME enduro bike. They have the same main frame, but different rear triangles - suitable for either 29-inch wheels or the 27.5+ plus format.

Both versions have an adjustable rear suspension travel of 140 to 150 millimetres and can be ridden with a corresponding fork up to 160 millimetres. Depending on preference and budget, both models will be available with an aluminium or carbon main frame. The entry-level price should be around 2200 euros. The rear triangle is always made of aluminium and only comes in the Plus version with the new, wider Boost standard. In this version, the frame accepts tyres up to 27.5 x 3.0 inches.

Both models can be fitted with shocks with an external reservoir ("piggy bag"), which, like the 66.5 degree steering angle, emphasises the bikes' high downhill capability. Both have 435 millimetre chainstays and front derailleur compatibility.

Plus hardtail: Robust 140 mm bike for all-mountain riders

Also new and compatible with 29-inch and 27.5+ wheels is the new hardtail with Boost standard, which can be ridden with forks up to 140 millimetres. In combination with the steering angle of 66.5 degrees, the bike should appeal to all-mountain riders looking for a carefree and robust bike.

As an option, the hardtail will be offered with a second set of wheels, which will allow a simple change from 29 to 27.5+ and thus give the bike a different character. The entry-level price should be around 1300 euros.
