I tried one out the other day, up and down the street. I’m 6’2 and tried a medium. My first “go” on a 29er and I was surprised how right it felt. The shop felt I’d be better on a large and I’d agree with that, just a little too cramped on the medium. Full XT and was $2500. Quite tempted but as it’s only the first 29er I’ve tried a little more exploration required. The only concern for me was the rear shock as I’ve seen some iffy reviews. Liked the 3 way lockout but didn’t really push each setting as just bimbling up and down the pavement / kerbs.
