Had an enduro 29 (YT Capra Pro Race) and a "hardcore hardtail" (Kingdom Vendetta 29) at the same time and when it came time to sell one it was a no brainer.
Like you say, riding a HT on stuff like in your photos can be fun, sometimes, but its hard work. Like getting beaten. Full squish bikes are generally fun everywhere but the very tamest, flattest trails.
The Vendetta was a lovely thing but I dont miss it for one second as I like steep and rough stuff. In conclusion, if its one MTB you want, go full bounce. There are varying degrees of bounciness after all.

First thing on my list would be ditching the lock-on grips for some push-on's. Best bang-for-buck comfort upgrade' you can make.

Where are these lovely looking trails?
Obviously the answer is always to buy another bike. If you’ve got a 27.5 hardtail I’d go 29 full sus, just so you have your bases covered.

I really enjoy riding my hardcore hardtail but on some trails it's very hard work and the arm pump gets crazy and I start to think about getting another bike...
I'm 6'5" and I'm now riding 27.5" so I'm thinking about getting a 29" hardtail (marino or cotic or so) or just say fuck it and buy something like a trek slash.
What do you guys think?
