I’m interested in starting mountain biking and am considering this Santa Cruz. Is $600 a fair price for it? I was looking for a 29er & this is a 27.5 is there a difference?

For 600 it’s fair and better if it’s ur size. 27.5 vs 29 isn’t that big a deal at that price but the 27 will be more nimble, and 29er will roll over stuff better. But imo at that price it’s good way to get into the sport.
Seems reasonable. 27.5 is fun. 29 carries more speed and rolls over chunk more. I generally recommend folks over 6’ get 29er but I’m over 6’ and rode this bike (2015) for about 6 years and loved it.
Pretty decent bike to get started on. No idea how this compares to the current used market but it’ll be a while before your skills can outgrow this bike.
