Surely it's not true that only a limited number of people want a full 27.5 bike? Anecdotally 0 people in my riding group are interested in full 29ers even after demoing, and have only a passing interest in mullets if they handle like 29ers.
This review doesn't help people like us decide if we'd like the bike as there's no comparison to the previous Bronson, which is fair if you've never ridden it, but it's disappointing regardless.
