Components:
Reba 100mm, Mavic C29ssmax, XO Twist/XO Short, XTR Crankset, Magura Brakes.. Weight 26#
Quickest of the niners I have ridden so far. Being my first FS 29 and having had a 26" Stumpjumper FS and SC Blur LT, I would say the combination of FS and 29, though this bike has less travel than the 26ers Ive ridden, is an awesome combination. The 29" wheels make up for the need in travel for sure. Very little pedal bob if any, with light quick acceleration. I feel as though Im back on a 26 again as far as the nimbleness of the way the bike handles, but still getting that 29 momentum. The bike also makes effortless climbs, shooting up the hills with little effort. The bike is stiff enough to throw around like a hardtail, but makes for a smooth ride leaving you plenty of gas left in the tank and not so beat up. I never thought I would go back to FS, but this bike is a blast to ride and so far is a great all around bike to ride anywhere.. I give it :pig::pig::pig::pig:
