Possibly an unpopular opinion but I just bought a 27.5 rear wheel for my Banshee Paradox V3 and wow, what a difference.
I loved the bike and have ridden it for 2 years as a full 29er but it always felt like I was too on top of the bike and it didn't feel as slacked as I liked.
I put this 27.5 on the rear today and this bike rides completely different. It's Poppy. It's a little bit lighter. It's more playful and seems to pedal easier and has more of that slacked out aggressive hardtail feeling that I wanted when I bought it.

Upvote for Banshee. Great looking bike, I’m glad you’re enjoying the new setup. I’ve always been curious why they don’t offer the modular dropouts for their hardtails.
