I mainly ride trail centres (dalby twice a week), a bit of moorland etc, I ride the downhill and technical sections as hard as I can which I really enjoy, I’m not after a big travel bike though.
As far as the bronson went, its the bike I wanted so much but I kept having pedal/crank strikes when pedalling, don’t get me wrong that can be easily done on any bike if you pedal on the wrong angles etc but from going on the bikes and style i ride it seemed to be a lot on the bronson, I found it faster on the flowing and flat stuff but a bit slower on the tight stuff.
Scott genius was recommended to me but as of yet ive not tried one.
