Description
If there is such a thing as a quiver-killer bike, the Santa Cruz Bronson is it. From railing down the steepest descents to casual trail rides, the Bronson’s mid-travel design, efficient suspension platform, and mixed-wheel setup make it a blast to ride on any trail. With 150 millimeters of VPP suspension, the Bronson is at home descending technical trails and is still nimble enough to climb back up and do it over again. A 64. 7-degree headtube angle and long wheelbase sticks our front wheel out in front of us for confidence and stability on the descents. A size-specific seat tube angle, sitting at around 77 degrees, puts us in the perfect position over the pedals, allowing us to be efficient when climbing, and with a frame weighing in at just 6. 84 pounds, the Bronson won’t be holding us back when we are climbing. Size-specific chainstay lengths mean every rider on a Bronson can have the same agile rear end, no matter our size frame. The Bronson’s mixed-wheel setup gives us the best of both worlds, with the 29-inch front tire handling the rollover capability and the 27. 5-inch rear tire enhancing the turn radius and agility. For those steeper and deeper days, we turn to the flip chip in the rear shock link that allows us to adjust our geometry, making the bike slacker, longer, and lower. An integrated Glovebox frame storage allows for easy access to our riding essentials, and a Sag Window makes sag reading and setup easier. The Bronson includes an integrated chainstay and downtube protector to protect our bike from rock strikes and chain slaps, and a shuttle guard allows us to throw our bike over our truck’s tailgate worry-free.*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting onlin…
