Cons WTB LaserDisc Lite wheelset (not easily converted to tubeless) Verdict Pure Fun! I bought this bike after trashing my Trek Fuel EX8 and absolutely love it! I can clear so many more obstacles that I had a hard time with on the 26" Trek. The bigger tires really do just roll over most obstacles. This bike does EVERYTHING my Trek could do better and easier. Niner definitely knows 29" bikes and it shows. Recommended for: Experienced XC riders
