So 2 of their 3 all-mountain bikes is now 650b. Good call, as people who can't afford a Bronson will turn to the Heckler instead.

Anybody here ridden a 650b back to back with a 26" to quantify the difference?

[jcza]

I like this bike but I'm scared of all the abuse I'll cop if I ride a 650B

Aaah, i miss my Heckler...

Just checked the Santa Cruz website. They also dropped a couple of 26 inch bikes. So no more; Blur XC, Blur LT and Superlight 26.

5010 looks very interesting!

[T-Bob]

That is very nice. What does it come into SA at in our might Rands?

[Baaisikilist]

Should be available. They changed the model name a few months back already. Some sort of copyright infringement on the name SOLO, so they tweaked it a lil.
