I'm intrigued, but my interest doesn't go much beyond that..... IMO, seems to me its another example of somebody taking something that works great in one area (xc) and trying to make it the norm for all areas. I can't see how the loss in maneuverability can be ignored just so you can roll of a couple more things. I'm curious as to how they will get a decent amount of travel crammed into a 29'er frame that won't weigh a ton. The courses that might warrant a 29'er set-up would also be the courses that would typically warrant a lighter bike so you sacrifice one advantage for another. I'm all for progression though so who knows maybe something cool will come out of this....whatever happened to the 650B fad? heard a bunch about that a year or so ago....was said to be the do-all size that could still work with alot of existing 26" geometry?

awesome, love it when people get creative with these...nice trail and good riding to boot
