Hey. I believe that the 29er is killer in super light Hardtail but that in FS the 650B may be the go. I am a spoilt owner of both in 29 (anthem X, Stevens sonora SL). Yes, bought the hype. The type of trails you can rocket on a hardtail (smooth single track or firetrail) aren't an issue when it comes to the apparent lower acceleration or nimbleness. Because its not super technical and you are maintaining momentum/speed most of the time. FS bikes where you can smash the rooty/rocky or more twisted trails may be just a bit better on the slightly smaller wheelsize V8 for firetrail type racing rally car for rooty single track ? My old 26 feels small after riding a 29er. Cant get used it anymore. Just personal opinion Cheers PS hate being a suckered sheep though and buying the hype. It sucks to be told Bike A by bike company X is the business then next year bike A is now shit, only bike B is good. If so, they should let me trade my heavily devalued bike to them for a changeover. Then I would not feel so cheated.
