Hi,

I am moving from a one bike for everything (Kona Cadabra) to my new Banshee Rune for aggressive stuff and a hardtail for winter riding, general XC and maybe a bit of bikepacking.

I had been planning on just getting a Cotic Solaris XL as I fancy a steel 29er for the rollover and comfort, however Cotic seem to have stopped doing it for some reason.

That has made me look around and I have come to wondering whether its best to get a 29er with tight tyre clearance (Titus Fireline Ti, only fits 2.25" max) or a 27.5 (On One 45650, 2.4" max).

As stated, for longer rides, I want the comfort of a 29er. However, does anyone have experience on similar bikes as above ? Any thoughts on how they would compare comfort wise.

Ta!
