Taken from a post on the 29er MTBR forums… so definitely unsubstantiated. However I have been riding the 26 inch version of the Karmas for awhile and am looking forward to slapping the 29er version on my Gary Fisher X-Caliber.

My email and response from Kenda. Very fast response I might add. Also, I’m not connected to kenda just love their tires.

First off, I love your tires. I found the perfect combo for my riding
preferences. Karma 2.2 on the back and a Cortez 2.4 on the front. I ride
rigid SS with roots rocks, reggae in Virginia, Maryland, PA, WVA. I
stick with what works and this combo works. The problem is that I’m
buying a 29″ MTB and I’m out of luck using my perfered tire setup.
I’ve heard rumors of a fatty 29″ Karma. That would be grand. I just want
to express my support for any 29″ developement. Keep up the good work.

ride on,
B

Thanks for the email! We always love to hear the combinations that
people are using out there! The rumors are correct. We have a 29″ Karma
that is being produced right now. We expect a shipment of them to arrive
around the middle of July.

Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding this tire!

Thanks,
