For folk like me who have thought about a rocky mountin tour, mainly done on fire roads, or so I could ride it up to a mountain bike destination, unlaod the ride the trails. If you read the description it talks about changing the wheels for the road as well. Now I am some what biased as I love my monogo29er SS for MTBing. 29er IMHO is not a fad, if you ride one side by side with a 26 the ride off road is so much better.
