Any thoughts on the wheel size difference?
I’m not crazy about the Norco name, but it seems that it has slightly better componentry, and the bigger wheels.

Yup have both sizes. The 27.5 definitely is faster its closer to the 29+ in diameter. 27.5 have a few choices for tires . 26 have the lions share for sure.
Vee rubbers are probably the leaat tire I have ever enjoyed but on the plus side is the are studdable so you won't need new winter tires just a bag of studs.
Also what Suzie q are you looking at the ally 30? Because all the suzie qs have been 27.5 x 3.8 in recent history.
That being said the bigfoot is a better speced bike
