air 9 medium should fit you fine, quite low standover
As above, I had the AIR 9 in a meduim and it was fine.
I’m 5’10 with about 32″ leg and all my 29ers have been a meduim.
My Niner RIP 9 had quite a high standover for a medium. I had an 18″ Scandal 29er which was brilliant, plenty of standover. My current Whyte T129-s is ok for standover, probably about an inch or so before the lads meet the bar 😀
Im my experience of 29er sizing the Ht’s are pretty good. Some FS can be a little high.
I tried a Santa Cruz Tall Boy LT and the sizing on that was all wrong for me. The medium was too small and the large was just massive, stretched right over and no standover at all.
