     @Reluctant_Weeb @TornadoOfTerror @bleedingphoenix Uh…better? 650b up front, 26” rear is the best mtb wheel layout. Tackles terrain, turns in eagerly, and spins up quick. Way better than the 29er monster truck

     @Reluctant_Weeb @bleedingphoenix the back is always suppose to be bigger , it has similar alloy too i think the difference u see is because front has two big disc brakes , i was just comparing those wheels to ducati's OEMs

     I think the difference I see is because I don't know anything about motorcycles but have ridden bicycles my whole life. It would be very strange to have a bike with mismatched wheels.

     The wheels in general are very different. The backs much bigger and has looks like it has a different tread, I don't see them as a pair sod the difference doesn't bother me.

     @TornadoOfTerror ah, well perfect lol.
     my only gripe is that the design of the spokes are so drastically different, each are good on their own but there's a slight clash when i see them paired.

     @TornadoOfTerror at first glance they seem quite big, but i guess you need that to really lean into turns. formidable-looking bike as well, the chassis lends itself well for that.
     i'm no expert, so i'm looking primarily at aesthetics here.
