2025 Santa Cruz Bronson - Send IT or don't spend it?

Today I am riding the 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson (released in Aug 2024), rented from Poison Spider Bikes in Moab UT, and ridden at Captain Ahab.
Although I don't think this bike is designed for a trail like Captain Ahab, I have ridden this trail quite a lot and because of that I will be able to get a feel for this bike relatively quickly.
You can find the full build for the bike that I rode at the link below.
