The Aspect is available in both 27.5 and 29'er sizes.

"Used Scott Aspect 650 Mountain Bike, Has some wear and tear from normal use. Could use a tune up and some new tires.
6061-aluminum frame and a 100mm-travel suspension fork up front to tame the bumps. Add an easy-pedaling Shimano 24-speed drivetrain, powerful disc brakes, quality wheels and tires, and you're ready to enjoy all your rides more than ever."
