What is out there for a 29'er hardtail that can run a 27.5 or 26" fat tire for winter riding?

Spot Rocker for plus (not truly fat) tires. I switched from a 29er HT to 27.5+ a couple years back and really dig it.

Right on. I'm really looking to replace my fat bike but would love to throw a 29er wheel for summer hardtail riding to get more use out of it.
I'm still a full squish fan, but my lunchtime trails are perfect for a hardtail.

Not full fat but the RSD Sergeant will go 27.5x3.8 and they make a rigid fork for it now. That was one of the selling points for me a few years ago but I haven't tried it yet. I would imagine that would do pretty well as long as the snow wasn't too soft/untracked.

Its nice to have a FS and a HT if you can swing it, to get some variety if you ride the same trails a lot. I tend to ride the FS on the technical terrain and the HT on xc trails. HT's really rail corners and are fun on the right type of trail. I know a lot of people bag on the plus size tires, but they climb like no other. You are only limited by your engine, they do not slip. They are also way easier on the body and I haven't noticed any drawbacks. One of my regular rides is an 18 mile XC type trail (Centennial Cone on Front Range) and my strava PR's are on the 27.5+ not my 29er race bike.

Yeah, I couldn't get my 2.8's dialed on my Hightower. Too much sway railing corners for me. I want a skinny 29er...2.3-2.5 for dirt and a fat 27.5...3.8 - 4.0ish for snow. Not sure its possible with geo today or not.

Since my Stumpjumper Evo was stolen I decided to get back to simple things and ordered RSD Middle Child frame. Going to build it around 27.5x2.8 wheels, 160mm fork. Just waiting for shipping notification.
Another interesting frame was Ribble HT 725, but they are far and I liked an idea of sliding dropouts. Both share very similar geometry.

Kinda crazy how capable a long ( >1240 mm WB), low, slack (HA < 64 degrees static) HT is. I’ve been on a few hardtails from recent years that were considered progressive geo but apples and oranges compared to a Blue Pig, Moxie etc.
Running 35 mm stem w/ 800 bars.
27.5 with a largish volume 2.6 tire seems the best setup for me. Ends up at 28” outer diameter, has just enough squish but avoids that bouncy weirdness of the dentist plus size tires. But maintains a flickable fast accelerating kinda pump track bike feeling when compared to a 29 x 2.5.

How you liking your Z1? I’m currently sitting here impatiently waiting for UPS to drop off my Z1 coil for my Chromag.

Keep the 3” tires of you get a Stache, they’re half the point. 29+ tires are lower profile than 27.5+ and don’t have the same vagueness and weird cornering at speed. If you’re gonna go stupid, go full stupid.
FTR, I’m generally not a fan of plus tires in any size, but I had a blast on the Stache I rode.Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
