    That is pretty much my dream bike, with dream spec.

    Apart from the colours, they’re gopping. 😕

    20 YEARS IN THE MAKING

    Two decades of evolution at Santa Cruz brought us here. An entirely new frame, new wheel size and new perspective on what a 6″ travel bike can conquer.

    Bronson is not some rehashed 27.5″ tribute act to anything else in our range. It stands alone as testament to the years of designing and refining at our old Bronson Street facility.

    Locked up for months of secret testing, Bronson breaks straight onto the scene as the Syndicate’s race bike for their Enduro World Series campaign.

    From Tazmon to Bronson… Santa Cruz continues to lead each new era in mountain bike design.

    – 27.5″ (650b) wheels
    – 142 mm rear axle spacing.
    – New molded rubber swingarm and downtube protectors.
    – 2 x bottle cage mounts.
    – Forged upper link.
    – Forged aluminum lower link with angled grease ports: offset for chainguide clearance.
    – Collet axle pivots: lock in place without pinch bolts.
    – Angular contact bearings: all pivots.
    – Direct mount rear derailleur hanger option: standard hanger comes as stock.
    – Full carbon dropouts and disk mounts.
    – Co-molded aluminum hardware on frame pivots: no bonding.
    – Carbon ISCG-05 tabs.
    – Routing for Reverb Stealth.
    – 73mm threaded BB: creak-free riding and easy installation.

    The best thing about that is that it has a threaded bb shell 🙂

    seems like a very long winded way to say 650b nomad to me.
    more like 20 mins of development than 20 years.

    It’s got…..wait for it…..2x bottle mounts! 😀
    That alone was worth the 20 year wait for me.

    if the bottle mounts are where i think they are they’re pretty unusable, 1 seems to be in the middle of a mess of cables and the other below the downtube.

    Its based on the Blur LT, which its going to replace. Not even remotely similar to a Nomad.

    It says two decades of EVOLUTION, not development: Two very different things.

    Yep, so what? Can’t see many people running two bottle cages on this. Fine for light battery or a pump or something.

    Hmmm, that’s makes things interesting. I was set on a tracer 2 but might have to consider this now.

    Shame they only make bikes with TT’s designed for midgets.

    I’m sure everyone will tell us because of the wheels its 5.48659% more awesome than a 26″ bike & you simply have to have one. If it fitted.

    How tall are all the people complaining of the short tt? I’m just over 6ft 5″ and ride an xl carbon nomad and find it fine. I run a 65mm stem.
    They aren’t as long as the likes of a yeti but for what the bike is meant for i think it feels Great.

    Forged upper link? Wonder why they’ve given up on the carbon one?
    I like it a lot actually! Would I trade my LTc for it? Maybe if it was stolen or caught fire…
