• The Pine Mountain was my first thought too - and I was sure I was going to go for rigid - but then I felt after trying out the trails near me, I really did benefit from suspension. It's also not any lighter. Was then looking at the Charge Cooker 3 which is on a big discount at the mo, but people seem divided on the geo, it's also v heavy, and I don't think I need semi-fat... I think a regular hardtsil 29er is probably what I need more even if they're less cool?

  • Yes - suspension makes for a more versatile ride.

    29ers seem to have found their niche in XC racing. There are some 29er trail bikes but they are in the minority.

    That said try it - you might like it.
