With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.

As mentioned above, the lever system allows you to quickly move the saddle out of the way when approaching descents or trail obstacles.
