Indeed. It is a monster bike! A normal 26" wheel with tyre comes to about the edge of the hoop on the 29" wheel. When you have two bikes side by side it looks strange 
, let alone 2 disc brakes!

It is built for use as an XC single speed and I would say is far from suitable for downhilling The rear hub does have a free wheel so is not fixed.

PMSL @ DH bike....... ou would end up with a compressed spine and fractured knee caps if you tried taking that down hill, it hurts enough on my Cannondale F series which coinsidently would look like a circus midgets bike next to that thing!!!!
