Depends what kind of "trails" you ride really.

The ones that are'nt 'race' 29ers?

I thought "trail" was just a new term for xc anyway.

Presumably the forthcoming Cotic Solaris - if it's like a 29er Soul it'll be great!

Niner RIP9 or WFO
Intense Tracer 29
Transition Bandit 29
Kona Sartori 29I wouldn't consider anything else on the market at the moment.
I ride a 2010 RIP9 BTW and I would buy it again in the current market.Posted 5 months ago # -

I ride my 29er on trails.....I race my 29er.Is it a trail 29er or a race 29er?I am confused,if it is a race 29er does that mean I can't ride it on trails?If it is a trail 29er does that preclude me from racing it.I thought I had bought a mountainbike.......guess not then.

i hear your pain.
the specialized camber/carve are both worth looking at.
i want a cotic solaris - if it's anything like the soul it'll be brilliant, and more 'trail' than 'race'
or, kona honzo?
niner rip nine/wfo?

The only 29 HT that fits then is the Kona Honzo as far as I'm aware.
All the other 29 HT have race geometry.Posted 5 months ago # -

I admire your blindness to all the new bikes that are slowly becoming available.
Fingers in ears hands over eyes keeps bigsi's wallet in his pocket.

Trail is the new term for too fat XC.Posted 5 months ago # -
Is my Lynskey Ridgeline 29er a race hardtail or a trail hardtail? I am confused.

have a look at the Whyte 29ers, they look ace.
but, expensive and aluminium, so for various reasons i'll not be getting one.

if it tries to kill you when you point it downhill, it's probably more 'race' than 'trail'... (and vice versa)
these guys:
really are some of the best bikecyclists in the world, the fact that some of them are even attempting to ride this section is testimony to that.
thankfully, we can now buy bikes not designed for these guys.

I'd say a Chumba HX2 too, not that I'm biased but I think mines great.
Ridden it in the peaks too and didn't die!
My mate rode it yesterday and said it felt very stable and direct and when I sell it he'll have it

Give it a rest with the niche bashing, OP is quite clear that he means slightly slacker but still relatively shorter travel, which is what people typically mean when they say 'trail'.
Yeah it's all XC at the end of the day but if he'd asked for an XC bike he's be inundated with suggestions of light-weight carbon whippets.
Back to the point, don't get carried away with slack on a 29er. 69deg feels pretty damned slack on a 29er. The Whyte does look interesting and if it rides anywhere near as nice as their 19 series, should be a winner!
The Trek Superfly hardtails aren't that steep to be honest (69 - 69.6 depending on size), I've got a full susser Superfly and ride it as a "Trail" bike.

Reassuring see the pros walk something like that. I bet it looks pretty bad from the top though.
Guess the race time lost vs injury risk is not favorable. The rider actually riding it will probably not overtake the walkers.Posted 5 months ago #
