Funny how people are so crazy about 29ers these days, before buying my 2012 S-Works epic 26er I rode a 2009 rockhopper hard tail and would out ride guys on full suspension 29ers. Btw I love my S-Works epic 26er! Great job specialized.
Truth is, it is more on the skill and ability of the rider to ride his/her bike than the size of the wheels. Base on this video alone you can see 26er are equal to 29er. Each tire size have pros and cons but if your not comfortable with your bike you'll least likely to win.
I've owned eight Specialized bikes over the past 16 years. I've broken two S-works MTB frames (my fault) and both of them have been replaced, no questions asked. I currently have an S-works hard tail, a Stump jumper FSR, an S-works Epic full suspension (2005) and an S-works carbon cyclocross bike. I'm happy with all of them and have only had problems with the early version of the Brain rear shock, which they also covered under warranty. How's that for warranty support?

Makes me glad I just got a full suspension 29er. If the pros are all doing it, then its obviously the right direction.
