I've put about 50 miles on one so far. It's plenty rowdy and climbs like a beast. When the tires are up to speed, you notice it resists changing direction a bit, due to all that rotating mass. The plus tires aren't a substitute for rear suspension, even shorter travel stuff. But I think if you don't want to spring for a full suspension bike, this definitely makes sense versus a more conventional hardtail. I'm also not that tall, about 5'6" and maybe the concept of a 29+ is a bit too large for my person.
