Built this bike up with remote lockout rear monarch xx and remote lock front rs sid 100. 27.5 plus mercury wjeels and NN 3" 27.5 plus tires. Rode well and a total blast in the late spring with lotsa nud. A bit low with pedal strikes. Added 29+ Nobby Nics 2.6 with Mercury 29' 35mm Interanl wide wheels and rims. Raised the bike. Changed the Sid to 120 mm front travel and this bike has turned into a confident AM ripper. Eve with 100 travel in the rear...still great and feels like more. Dula lockout is nice also. Great bike and build for the money. With winter coming and things getting muddy, I am heading back to the 27.5 plus with 3" Nobby Nics. Actully functions as a great fall ride and early winter Snow Bike. When it gets deep I switch to my Fat Bike hard tail with 4,8 Lous and Buds. I also ride a Specialised SWORKS epic for XC and races. But I have to say this is the funnest and best all around ripper I have...I enjoy riding it the most...like a KId. I have about 1000 hard miles on it with 0 problems and Great performance. The M006 27.5 Plus bike is the way to go ove the 29 M06 as you have the wider chain stays for 27.5= and ghreater options and versatility! If you thinking about it do it!
