I am sure that ,despite an initial resistance to the idea, 29er hardcore
hardtails will become more popular because they undeniably roll over bigger
and rougher terrain than a 26. Even the handing thing is being addressed and
perfected with yearly adjustments to geo specifically HA and CS length. 29er
wheels need not be boat anchors either with plenty of inexpensive but good
quality wheel sets are available like Stan's and AC. The lighter wheels help
with handling.
Still, mostly, I think its due to the bikes ability to swallow tougher terrain
just as a longer travel bike can and since we are discussing hardtails
anything to help in rough terrain is noticeable.
