Not too sure about how well a Bronson would handle DH park laps, it has trail/AM geo and 150mm of travel. Excellent pedaling, but not very "DH" if you are keen for bike park. Nomad and spartan are both real nice, with gravity orientated geo and 165mm of travel. Spartan comes in alloy AND carbon but nomad is only carbon. I would go for alloy spartan, because it is slightly cheaper and you probs don't need carbon. And looks WAY cooler imo... buy the frame and build it up! Would look mint tup

True man, my local shop can get me the carbon for 3600 cash but they might score me an even better deal,with alloy. Thank you though !

Go Santa Cruz Nomad. It is a good all around bike. Works great for DH and can do all-mountain and enduro. And preferably I am a SC fan.

I have the Spartan, switch to 1 x10 and it's awesome. You might want some l I ghter wheels at some point as the jalco are tanks. Great go the bike park as well as riding to the top, but it is geared more toward gravity ( was ay Trestle bike park today)

Glad to hear! Did you get to take it down some dh trails? Did it feel like it could handle the intensity of those trails

I took it down all trails including double blacks and had no problem. Now don't get me wrong a downhill bike would have been easier but if you have one bike devinci can handle any trail.
