Pros
Everything, the ride, the handling, the suspension, and the size the bike just rocks. I love riding it the best thing is the speed. This bike is so super fast. Custom built with my selected components, from Fox 32 F29 FIT, to Crank brothers pedals and rims.
Cons
The Cost, its expensive but worth it if you can afford it.
Review

Pros
Handling is great. Takes the big hits/drops and just rolls on. The 29 wheels really hold momentum. Raw finish looks great. Solid frame. Long rear travel with Fox RP23. Custom built with my selection of components.
Cons
costs alot more to custom build than a factory bike. But you get what you pay for. Wish it could be 4 lbs lighter,...but then I'd worry about what would break.
Review
NO FEAR on this bike. Keeps a confident track over rough stuff. Adapted my riding style to more plowing through -less worry over the terrain. Can look further ahead and not worry about ruts & rocks. Climbs very well. Wants to descend faster than I will let it. Overall excellent bike. Very highly recommend (but start saving now).

Review
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.
