Santa Cruz Bronson - 650B Enduro Racer in Carbon and Aluminum

Willie1: What about for the non-racer? Strictly, which one is more fun on the trail? A great 26 (Yeti SB 66C would be my choice) vs a similar 650B?

Santa Cruz Bronson - 650B Enduro Racer in Carbon and Aluminum

Thanks for pointing out that article. Very, very insightful. It was clear Santa Cruz didn't necessarily see the benefits of the 650B over 26. "this is arguably one of the first occasions when a manufacturer didn’t simply choose 650b wheels because they were new and therefore had to be rad – the Bronson’s wheel choice came from the demands of a consumer and not the whims of a product manager. Personally, I wish that so many people hadn’t taken time out of their day to call Santa Cruz and ask them to build a bike with a wheel size that I am willing to bet 90 percent of them had never even ridden.."
