If what is often said on the MTBR 29er forum is true (and it appears so). Whereas the most popular 26" tyres come in wired or folding, sidewall protected or lightweight sidewalls etc. There is often only one 29" version, and its usually the lightest. I suppose this will change with the market.

Says 'lightweight' casing, which doesnt sound good.
