I'm looking to get back into mountain biking. I use to ride this bad boy lol so used to a hardtail 2x small wheel diameter system for bike path and dirt road travel. However, I am thinking of getting into something more like this so I'm thinking full suspension. But I am unsure of a 1x drivetrain, and the 29" tires. The stumpy seems like I'd be more in control in the downhill/rocks but the chisel is lighter weight which is what I am after as well. Reference 5'3 ~110. Thanks.

Don’t be afraid of the 1x. I bought a Stumpy 2 years back to replace a hardtail and found it sluggish for my riding. I recent purchased an Epic 8 and love it. For the video you uploaded I would suggest more of an XC bike.
