I currently ride a Santa Cruz Bronson CC which cost me a fortune.  I’m trying the new Bronson V3 on Sunday, but the frame alone is £3200!!  I can swap out my parts, and I get a little bit of discount, but it’s still 3k.   YT are doing 25% off the Jeffsy and the CF pro is extremely well spec’d and only £250 more than the SC frame.  Does anybody have one and do you rate it??

I would swap out the fox 34 for my Fox 36 and also swap my brakes over.

Cheers Chris

My mate has one, I have the 29" version.  I've ridden his.  Basically it's brilliant.  I would not swap the fork.  I can't fault it.  Top spec, top ride really.

Every review ive seen rates it very highly. Its top of my wish list for next year (in 29r format). I'd buy this years but i have an inkling that they are going to tweak it a bit for next year and i'm a fashion victim.

Black flag - that’s one of my problems too. I like shiney new things and that’s where the new Bronson fits in!   I might go to a trail center this weekend and try and find one to try!!

I think the Pro Race is even better value at £3,400 although my personal preference would be the 27.5 version. Had I not just built a Foxy XR I would have gone for that, incredible VFM.

They make the Santa Cruz look even more overpriced than they are.

Ive ridden the 29 and 27.5 back to back.  The difference is so small I would say you can ignore it.  Back to back my mate and I struggled to say which was better.  The one that was tended to be the one you were riding.

I only got the 29er as I have a Capra in 27.5 flavour, so wanted something that was different.

Friend of mine bought one the week before they dropped to 25% off.  He's not happy!  😀

Dear me! That pro race Jeffsy is incredible value at £3,349.. I was looking at a Capra a few weeks ago but I'm now seriously considering ordering the 27.5 Jeffsy - as an all round bike it looks fantastic. I'm currently on a 2012 Nukeproof Mega that is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. Decisions decisions

Tell him to email them, think they refund the difference.
