Indeed, buy the bike that makes you feel most comfortable on the trails you ride often.

 

One wheel is not faster than another if the same power is applied through it through the same drive ratio.

Then may I suggest you try a brilliant 27.5 like the giant anthem and brilliant 29er like a rocky Mountain element and decide.

 

I chose the anthem. I simply preferred the ride of the smaller wheels across varied terrain and the superior suspension action

no i want a mountain since i have 110kg to consider and do a bit of riding in the bush/veld and i like the look of a mountain bike

Wheel size makes no difference. Speed is determined by how hard and fast you can push the pedals to turn the wheels through the gearbox. Wheels size difference between 26 27.5 and 29 makes very little difference when gearing is corrected for the wheel size difference
