Clearly what 29 needs is a stifer and a bit more travel front to be faster than the slayer... I,m doubting between fox talas 34 and the new revelation xx with dual position... Waitting for real reviews to take a decision..... I too expect a 34 revelation... Aor better a bow deville 29... i,m the owner of a rm slayer with lyrik 170 coil front qnd an altitude 29 with fox rl 120 so have the two versins at home….

Great, take a fast-rolling wheel format and bog it down with a lot of suspension and huge, multi-ply tires. And wait for people to complain about how the wheels aren't holding up... or that the durable 29er wheels are too heavy. Whaaaaa! 29 has it's benefits, and I predict that long-travel ain't it's strength... at least until we get much wider hubs. Or I could be totally wrong.
