Meta Power SX vs TR

[bigdaddy46]

Hi guys, not sure how many really have ridden them but I'm kinda torn between these two models. On one hand, the TR seems to be marketed as all about fun and sporty which I'm a big fan of, but wouldn't the 27.5 wheels on the sx also be nimble and sporty? Just a little tough for me to understand what the real world differences would be between the longer travel 27.5 and the shorter travel 29er. Also I do live in a pretty flat part of Minnesota, I'd love to be riding the steep stuff all the time but realistically I'd say thats going to be a smaller portion of it, more just trail riding close to me. My friends are on Intense Tazers and they love them, but I can't get past the pregnant bass look of that frame. I'm 6'0 185lbs if it makes a difference.

If you're just doing regular trail riding go for the 29r.

Lol @ "pregnant bass look".
That's pretty much the only reason I didn't consider that bike. I believe that's exactly what I called it too.
