2025 Santa Cruz Bronson 5 | Review & First Impressions

My new long term test bike is the Santa Cruz Bronson V5. Unboxing, what's new, initial impressions, and review. It's been awhile since I had a proper all mountain trail bike in rotation. Am I going to miss the Enduro bike? Is it as fun as my short travel bike? What do you think?

What's new with the Bronson mx is it better than the 4 and how does it compare to similar bikes like the Trek Fuel EX, Specialized Stumpjumper 15, and Commencal Meta. The loam library tries to quantify those bikes and more all mountain bikes. #santacruzbicycles #bikereview #bronson5
