Can anyone reccommend me a rigid hardtail mountainbike for someone who wants to get into some dirt-road touring and bikepacking around Denmark and Sweden?

Priorities:
- Fully rigid
- Available in small sizes (fit for a 5,4 person)
- Preferably 27,5 ich/650b wheels
- Eyelets and mounts for racks
- Disc Brakes
- Somewhat affordable
I have looked at the Sonder Frontier as an option, but I am unsure if the boost hub spacing is going to be a pain further down the road. Apart from that it ticks a lot of boxes, at a bearable price.

Kona Unit 2017? Reynolds 520 tubing, around £600 if any left. Comes as singlespeed but if you shop around you could get an 11 speed XT mech. chain, shifter and cassette for £100.
Rims and tyres are tubeless ready.

That's definately an option as well, but I am fairly sure that I am after a bike that can be ridden (geared) straight out of the box.
