Маги,
Тhe advantages of Boost:
One advantage of the now wider axle standard is glaringly obvious: given the wider hub flange, and the stronger spoke-bracing angle, the stiffness and stability of the wheel is massively enhanced. According to stats from the manufacturers, a 29″ rear wheel with a 148mm hub has the same stiffness as a 27.5″ wheel with a 142mm hub. But, as SRAM promise, Boost brings yet more advantages:
1. The increased stiffness results in more effective and more precise bike handling.
2. Given the wider rear wheel, a shorter chain stay can be used.
3. Suspension pivots can be placed wider apart and therefore stiffer.
4. The wider rear hub offers you a bigger choice when it comes to chainrings.
5. And finally, Boost improves clearance on the forks and the rear.
