I ride in British Columbia. My only criteria in upgrading to a new bike is that I want to be more comfortable with steep rolls and reduce the chance of going over my handlebars at the bottom. I’m 6′ and about 190 lbs. I generally ride to the top of the descents but I don’t need this to be the lightest bike.
My understanding is that a slack head tube angle will help. I’ve been looking at the Norco Shore.

However, intuitively a lager wheel up front also seems like it would be helpful so I was going to look for a bike with 29″ wheels.
Is there a good enduro bike that is downhill focused with a slack head tube angle and 29″ wheels?
