either a full bike or frame only.

Like a Whyte 905 but carbon.

The only one I've found is the Saracen Mantra Elite.

The only example I've found is the Saracen Mantra.
There's a fair few burly carbon 29ers around though.

There should be one coming out in the next few whiles. We did one for a Chinese factory, and someone has bought it.

B+ too 🙂

Does the 456 carbon not take 650b by a happy accident?

OMG a gap in the market!!! Quick, stop faffing around with axles and tyre widths everyone!

Yeti ARC Carbon? The small is 650b.

650b, carbon and hardtail, I got 3 out of 5.

edit* I've just looked up the geometry of the frame, it's a lot more XC than I thought it was!!!

Pyga Zero if you want something higher-end although the Saracen is a good option imho.

iirc the head angle is around 67/68 degrees so should do the job nicely
