@@stephenkrause6059 no, but i don’t think it’s worth swapping frames to get. I had a specialized enduro before this with swat and I really liked it, but I like my gold bronson color and will have to do without the glovebox for now
Same. I’m on my 2nd Bronson and considering a 3rd. The only thing holding me back is that I’m just not impressed with the parts-to-price. Sram Code R’s for $8k CAD… f&ck off.
@@whiskyo Santa Cruz bikes are some of the most expensive for the parts spec out there. Frames and overall build and finish is fantastic- as good and anything else, but $$$$
Just got the new 5010 in the red color, looks great and feels great. Wen‘t from a Rocky Mountain Altitude with 160mm, down on 130mm, but seriously, i don‘t mind it at all.
As a 5010 and nomad (both v4) owner my take would be 5010 if you want to rip local loam trails, occasionally hit the skatepark or 4x track, bronson if you want a capable bike for all day rides and nomad if you want a freeride bike that still brings you back up the hill. All great bikes.
Can you confirm if the Bronson has the Glovebox? It is not shown on the web site. For the Nomad and the 5010 the Glovebox is shown. Maybe the web site is not up to date.
The two new colors 2023 models of the bronson have the glovebox- the gold and moss green colors (2022) that have been around for a while do not have the glovebox.
@@danielray1558 SC clearanced the 2022s or V4 Bronson's without the glovebox. Those were the buy (maybe there are some still available) as there were no other changes to that model other than that downtube insert (referred to as V4.1).
Live in Colorado and picked up a cc 2023 Bronson with the XO drivetrain ….. AMAZING. Stable and the more rowdy the more fun the bike becomes.
I’ve had the bronson for a season, love it, but I have been nomad curious. This video helps me think maybe the Bronson is the better bike for me
Do you have the Glovebox on your Bronson?

Hi how do you like pedalling the bronson on long pedally trails?

Great review! Helped me decide

Pick up Solo. thx mates! :D
I just got the Nomad V6 with AXS, hope I'll love it as much as it cost :)
have you got it already?
So which one should I get then
Any bike shop in the UK has a Bronson available?
Is R kit fine or should S kit better?

100% Daniel! 👌🏼 Nailed it! The 2023 have the glove box - Sockeye Sal, Matte Black

Nice one pal, good watch and gave me some considerations for what to choose, would love to buy all 3 if I had the money 😅
Interesting to compare the Transition Patrol to the Bronson and Nomad
Sound good.. I was debating TB and 5010, but I think new 5010
Bloody good review! 5/5
Where are the rocks to really test the different suspension levels?
How would the nomad compare to the nukeproof giga 297? Is the giga worth considering?
If price isn’t a factor nomad is better imo
Nomad is much better quality. I wouldn't go for Nukeproof
Please Tell me which bike is more poppy and fun, Bronson or 5010
Love your vids dude!
Appreciate it man!! 🙏🏼
How well does the Bronson climb?
Absolutely fantastic climber. Probably better at climbing then my current 2018 bronson!! It's so light and fantastic on the downhills
Just got a nomad
