Has anyone ridden both that can provide a good comparison? At 6’5 and needing a size XXL I can’t help but feel like the 29er is a no brainer but I have a nice carbon wheelset for a 27.5 build that I can’t seem to sell, and can’t help but wonder if the 27 is just as good as the 29 but perhaps more fun/playful. There are lots of reviews out there on the 29 but the 27 seems scarce, would love to know if the 29 is significantly better in any aspects.
I’m 6’4 and ride an XL Jeffsy 29er. I know you asked about a comparison...but just here to say the 29er feels perfect, can’t go wrong, especially someone as tall as you!
