Yes the rumors are true, we are doing a 29er version of our Bandit as well as a TransAm 29. We are actually pretty excited about the new bikes and realize while they are not for everyone, they can be pretty awesome. "We felt there are rider types and sizes that benefit from bigger wheels. Taller riders have the tendency to ride on top of smaller wheeled bikes and making a larger wheel bike allowed us to plant the rider more “in” the bike. Lower relative to the axles. With shorter riders, this benefit is negated and at some point could become a drawback as the bike feels too big and unwieldy. We felt that 29ers aren’t “the answer” but rather one more way to have fun on a bike. 29ers have their own set of quirks just like every bike does, but riding them is actually really fun and forces the rider to think in new ways about how to tackle terrain, keep speed, jump, etc, - Kyle Young, Owner of Transition Bikes".
