Help please, I’m sure there will be strong views but buying first mtb hardtail. 27.5 with better components or 29er? Mostly trail riding as I’m just starting off road. Two possible options, 27.5 has another 100 quid off ticket price. Thanks for your help and advice in advance.

Well i just bought this yesterday and its amazing.
I bought the size 15 with 27.5 wheels.
If your tall you get 29 wheels.

Bargain of the season ,Yari fork ,dropper and slx mech, just over 12 kg ..it rides bloody brilliant

Very nice. I had a Nail Trail in the late 90s. It died on the streets of London. The specs aren’t far off the Cube I have but that Marin has some very useful upgrades.

Not much difference tbh 29ers may go over the rougher stuff slightly better but the 27.5 will be a little stronger due to the smaller size. I ride both I have a meridia big nine 29er hard tail and an orange 5 Pro with 27.5 both good bikes.
