What about Santa Cruz Heckler 27.5? Same geometry as the Bronson at a third of the price. You can get Enve/Chris King wheelset to make up the price difference.

 

Intense Tracer 27.5 is a great option as well.

GT Sanction (if they ever bring it into SA)

I have an older (2010) Sanction frame on the market at the moment

 

(Just trying my luck ;-) )

Only problem with the YT Capra is the sizing :cursing: seems like they only catering for dwarfs :whistling: They need to make an XL & XXL otherwise I'll be needing the 430mm reverb and a 80mm stem. :ph34r:

oh and the Pyga Pasco may be an option - will have to ride one though ...

 

Oh and sorry to all the Giant Trance and Reign fans ... but no. ... not interested.

 

Also thinking of the Intense Carbine Carbon or new Tracer 27.5 .. but they pretty much the same as the bronson ....

 

Other ideas????

Only thing I can think of would be the Sukuma but that's biased. Corners like a fly and not many on the trails. Custom paint job is a winner.. :rolleyes:

 

Next I would consider that Mark Weir moved from his Nomad to the Jekyll and he seems to dig it. Low centre of gravity, versatile and a snappy pedaller. Again, not that many on the trails. This was my second choice and when I see it winning, makes me think I will always have the "what if's"... it wins a lot!
