29er Mountain Bikes
29er Mountain Bikes are a special line of mountain bikes that are perfect for taller bike riders. The 29er Mountain Bikes are a line of mountain bikes that have a larger tire than normal 26 inch mountain bike tires. With the larger 29 inch tire the 29er mountain bikes handle better out on rough mountain trails. There is nothing sacred about the 26 inch standard wheel which pre-dated mountain bikes by many years. The larger tires are designed to handle better on the rough terrain of mountain trails moving over obstacles like logs and rocks with less trouble than the smaller tire. 29er mountain bikes are becoming more popular since more bike manufacturers are releasing new models with larger 29 inch tires.
You don't have to be tall to enjoy a 29er. Many average size people really enjoy riding them, but they are not for everyone. They do have distinct advantages. They do, however, take more energy when starting.
Featured below is a great selection of 29er mountain bikes, including a link to a review of the fifty best bikes so you can find one and start enjoying the trails in state parks, off-road wooded trails and mountain trails.

The 96er or 69er Option
Other options are available where the front wheel is 29 inches and the rear wheel is 26--known as a 96er. Or 69er bikes are being manufactured with a 26 inch front wheel and 29er back wheel. Each type seems to come with its own weaknesses and advantages.
Mountain bike riders are an innovative, scrappy lot and so expect to see other interesting designs in the future as some riders and forever pushing the envelope.

Expect to see many more options available by 2014 at the latest.
