Word from Jungle is that they have already sent stock out to dealers that pre-ordered them, so they should be in some shops from today or tomorrow.

Anyone know if the Tallboy LT has been discontinued or are they just staging the releases?

We (18 Bikes) have a 5010 Carbon C Complete bike in, Medium/Black with S Build kit. Photos once it's built.

It doesn't have a customer's name on it (yet...)

😉

Reckon I will be having a bronsons in black so I will let you know how I get on with the mud shelf 😀

If anyone fancys a bargain on a black and magenta bronson cc with a db air cs on it in large that's been my favourite bike ever for the last ten months then give me a shout

I'm a 5''5 long legged short torsoed woman and the bronson is the first bike iv ever ridden that felt like it fits, all others I feel like I'm having to over reach for the bars so this has got me apprehensive.

I would wait now and test ride the new bike - that's a lot of money to drop on something that doesn't fit as well, and if you prefer the old one then you may be able to get it on a discount as it's the old model.

hellz85 - do you know what stem length was on the bike you tried.
It wasn't uncommon to find Bronsons with 50 or 60mm stems on, so dropping to 30-35 would help bring it back again.
That's the intention of longer top tubes in most cases - not make you stretch further. It places the front wheel a long way in front whilst still retaining responsive steering. I'm definitely a fan.

No idea I think it was just the stock demo bike in small, I know it was the top spec one when I asked the price they said 7k.I went on the Juliana roubion too but it's exactly the same but the bars are narrower, I'm not sure if I like narrower bars or not. I ordered the bronson over the roubion because they come with more affordable options. I ordered the £3999 one. Guy on the phone said the geometry wasn't really changing but the new one has better wheels for the same price, and is better protected. I'll admit that when I look at angles and stuff online I get confused, on the demo ride I felt really good, I don't normally do jumps and roll obstacles but the bronson made me feel really confident and I did some jumping and rode both up and down a lot faster than I normally do. I have a giant trance from 2011 at the moment which I like but find heavy and feel a bit too stretched out on.

Pulled the trigger on a blue 5010 today - Jungle has a few in stock already. Celebrated with a quite substantial off on my hardtail which has kind of taken the edge of things...

Complete bike, S Build. There are a small number available in the UK already (at least there was this morning!).

Here's a thing..new 5010 has Boost at the rear only until November at which point they will be shipping with Boost both front and rear. I decided to delay my purchase for the sake of a couple of months. Seems like a really odd move from SC (for those that care about these things). Might be a similar story with the new Bronson, not sure.

I'm guessing they've got some excess forks to shift. There'll be some clueless cyclists that'll buy the bikes with the none boost forks.
