Came across this bike locally and I've heard of Specialized, Cannondale, trek, Gary fisher, TREK to be higher line brands. This particular Corratec X Vert 650B Expert I never heard of and can't find many reviews but see they sell for $750- thousands $$$
Any input? Retail on this 2018 model was about $800

Technology:
LPC / LOW PROFILE CHAINSTAY:
First-class forward-driving and a clean chain steering, completely free of chain laughter. Even a road bike with a triple chain kit is safe from chain damage to the frame. Included in almost all Corratec bikes.
650B Wheel Size:
650B Wheel Size is the new MTB standard. The 650B wheel is no compromise between 26? And 29? It combines the benefits of 26 inch models (weight, torsional rigidity and agility) with the benefits of 29? Impeller (increased smoothness, rolling behavior, increased swing stability).
Tapered head tube: The
main tube is especially reinforced to accommodate the force more efficiently.
