As per title. Demo'd one the other day and thought it was ace fun. Rails corners ๐Ÿ™‚ Never really felt too flustered.

Wonder how it compared to the new Bronson and if anyone has demo'd both.

I've read review but nice to get real riders input ๐Ÿ™‚

I tried both 5010 and Bronson V2s at a Santa Cruz demo day.
I ended up buying the 5010.
To me it felt just a little bit more lively while climbing and descending.
Having come from a 140mm rear travel Blur LTc i was worried about missing the 10mm of travel but so far i havent even noticed the difference in travel.
It certainly doesnt feel like you 'only' have 130mm on the rear.
I have put a pair of 150mm Pikes up front and it feels a lot more capable than my old Blur LTc.
The bike is beautifully balanced and is really easy to pop and jump off obstacles, and believe me i am no Danny MacAskill!
It is a solid ride and i have never felt out of control in the past couple of months.
I love it, easily the most well designed bike i have ridden.
