I spent a day on a Bronson C at an FOD uplift day recently and came away in love! To be honest, I am unsure how it would compare with a 26″ equivalent like a Blur TRC but compared with my 165mm but shorter and steeper Maverick ML8 it felt amazing. Very light, but never felt short on travel and on the smoother faster stuff like Verderers descent, it almost felt like I was cheating such was the way I could pull away from all of my group (and I’m relativelty unfit at present).
Regardless of cost or wheelsize debates, it’s a fantastic piece of kit although I have been advised to get the 2014 model Fox 34s as the ones on this bike did dive through their mid travel rather readily when in descend mode.
Mine should be coming in a month or so – am very closely to saying f*ck it and going for XX1 and Enve spec as I have been working very bloody hard and haven’t bought a new bike for 3-4 years!
