The Rocker sits between trail & xc. Hardtail Party has a good review of it.Would the Spot Rocker be suitable? Just reading about it today.
Rocker SS
Rocker 27.5+ occupies that sweet spot halfway between fat bikes and cross-country bikes. Whatever the season or trail, the Rocker SS 27.5+ is mountain biking rock-n-roll boiled down to its purest essence.spotbikes.com

It looks great, butthe top spec geared model would cost a fortune after shipping and taxes for me in Ireland.

Honest question: what's the difference between a 27.5"+ specific bike and a 29" bike?
why not a 29 that can take 27.5 plus?
I am also looking for a dedicated 27.5+ bike but probably not in carbon. The issue is that frames I see can clear 27.5x3 also clear 29x2.6 and are optimized for 29" tires and the bb is just too low for chunky desert exploring.
Have one of these, put it together last March. Ran it as a 29er x 2.35 most of the year, felt good. Just put a -1 degree angle headset and a 27.5+ rear wheel/tire to slacken it a bit. I'll let ya know in May how it worked out...

Kona Big Honzo DL always has good reviews and is good value for price.
I think the Specialized Fuse has 27.5+ model.
Spot rocker !!!!
