Looking for my first MTB. Why is this a bad choice, or is it?

If you are looking to learn great handling skills, a fully rigid bike like that Niner will be great. If you plan to only ride gravel and dirt roads, a fully rigid bike is also great. If you plan to ride rocky or root infested single track and go fast down hills, you will probably be more comfortable on a bike with suspension.
