Yes, but if they are quicker, then why not.

 

"Greg practically forced me to try the bike" reveals Loris Vergier. "I tried it once in testing, but went straight back to my original 27.5 inch bike because that's what felt fastest across the length of the test track. But Greg insisted I give the 29er another shot. So I did, and I felt like it was still slower. The clocks don't lie though, and I was consistently posting quicker times on the new bike compared to the old—and this was on my local track! That's when I realized the new bike was deceptively quick."

looks good...

My feeling too but time will tell.

Greg is quite a tall fellow so 29er might suit him.

But will this concept work with shorter riders?

 

Pitty the event is not on TV as I don't have the streaming thing.

 

Bit off topic. How much streaming data are we speaking of anyway and what is a streaming device?

I recall using about 400meg of data on my phone to watch the whole DH show from the start of the ladies to the last of the men across the finish line.

In contrast, Luca Shaw took straight to it. "Psychologically I think it really helped that the bike already looked refined, straight off the bat" says Luca. "The swingarm and links are custom, and they're mated to a production V10 front triangle. Loris and I are riding bikes with 190mm of travel, and Greg's got 210 because the XXL frame has more room."

Was about to say that rear triangle looks Alu not Carbon.

 

Edit: I see the that's a pic of a test bike, race bike are all carbon.
