All I know is that it exists and who has a prototype. The promise is that it will be out later in the year. I might also add that it will not be a tire most folks will want outside of the AM/FR/DH crowd since it's to be a burly, tough, heavy tire. The recent announcement of the Sun-Ringle' wheelset is an indication of what you are alluding to with the rim selections. They are going to be wider choices coming very soon, I'm sure of that. The curious thing about the Dart 29"er is that SRAM didn't even breathe a word about it at Sea Otter. They did go over several new features for the 26"er line up, but not a word- nothing- on 29"er product. This is why I feel they are up to something and are waiting till Interbike to unleash the news. All at about the same time Specialized is planning on introducing their 29"er FS line. Outdoor Demo should be VERY interesting this fall! :) Cloxxki: I wish I could tell you more about the tire.

That's a third model. I'm a bit (no, very) TIRED of all the indirect reports of this supposed fat rubber. Stop teasing and just tell the world so we can build forks and frames around it! Heck, we'll need rims for it too! There's the Kris Holm now, but I bet some rim designers would like to try if hey could improve on that extrusion, KH is also not charging a forture for it, there should be room for improvement.
