If you live for speed and have a tendency to seek out the rowdiest descents you can find, a long travel 29er is the bike to have. With the way geometry and suspension have evolved over the past couple of years, these machines have have become unstoppable enduro weapons that are still comfortable and efficient enough to pedal all day on big rides.
