Dear Bob, I transitioned from a Krampus to my Plus. The similarity between the two ends at the 29+ platform. The Plus is a mature, well thought out design with geometry optimized for the large footprint; the Krampus is a 29er with a yoke designed to clear 3" tires - nothing more. Where the Plus is fast and extremely nimble, the Krampus is downright sloppy. And the Plus riding position is exceptional compared to the Krampus, allowing the rider to be far more comfortable in technical terrain without suspension. Yes, 3" tires certainly help, but front end geometry dictates how trail forces translate to the rider - the Plus has this dialed.
