I'm surprised no-one has beaten me to pointing out that 29 inch is the US name for 28×1⅝" aka 700c or 622mm, so surely Schwalbe already did a LOT of them? Is it that they've started doing MTB patterns or widths?

The Smart Sam has been out for a year and they do other excellent 29 inch tyres both Spike and Trekking slicks. You could arguably fit wider 700c tyres to a 29 inch though think it would be a wee bit on the narrow side if you went less than a 35C! schwalbe.com will show their full range.
