I'm getting sucked in to the whole 27.5 thing and I'm feeling the need to go from a Blur LTc to the Bronson C.
Credit card may feel pain soon.......

I'm keen to try one, not getting sucked into the 27.5 thing last one I rode was just a well put together trail bike, not enough change in the wheels to make any difference. The Solo looks like a more all round (less rad more pedalling) version of the Tr or a less XC version of the XC... an the bronson is just a bigger LT overlapping with the Nomad at the lower end of it's range. More trail than mini DH.
It's a lot of bikes all in a nice end of the market.

I'm just off to order a LT as I have enough 26" kit.

Same here. Selling my Blur LTc after riding 27.5 Nicolai which felt just right.
Just have to choose between Bronson and Solo...

Quite fancy the Solo C over the Bronson C but I'd want to spec Fox 34s or the new RS Pikes and get them lowered instead of the F32s. I see this is the 27.5 version of my current bike which has 140/127mm worth of front and rear bounce.

Unfortunately I will not be buying a new bike anytime soon 🙁
