Hi Carla
OMG!!! I cant say enough about this bike! I've been on a 26er for ever, about 30+ years... dang that's a long time (Cannondale RZ 140 to be specific), so yes this is my first 29er. I sold my C-Dale a month ago and have been on a demo 29er Speed Fox BMC for a few weeks... what a great introduction to 29er HOWEVER, when I got on my Niner RDO WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Climbing is effortless, singletrack very predictable and tracks incredibly well, technical trails I haven't had a chance to try yet but will this weekend.
So I'm 5' 4" and do not feel any issues with the larger wheel size, which surprised me big time!!!! If anything, it easier in every way, more stable, and more predictable than the 26er...
I don't know if it's the 'Niner" specifically , but I can tell you the suspension is far superior than ANY bike I have ridden, most similar to the Ibis Mojo SL
I'll give more input after my ride tomorrow
