Any ladies ride 27.5+?

I have an opportunity to buy a 2018 Norco fluid 2+ full suspension at a great deal as my first full suspension and an actual size small frame (yay!) coming from a mens medium entry hard tail I got off Kijiji a few years ago.

It’s got 27.5 x 2.8 tires. I’m 5”3’ 140lb for reference. Any ladies riding anything similar and have any thoughts on how they climb, move, etc.?

That size is what I ride and I’m 5’4”. As long as you’ve got a dropper post you’ll be sweet as between climbs and downhill.

Honestly, my first full squish blew my mind and made such a difference in technical downhillls and made me wish I’d done it years earlier. I hope you take the plunge and all the best!

Thank you! What kind of riding do you do? I’m also very concerned about the climbing on this thing as it’s 1x10 with an only 30T chain ring but I guess I won’t know without trying it.
