Still the same versatile all-mountain bike we love, but now loaded with improvements to take our capability even higher, the Santa Cruz Bronson is back in a big way. The fifth iteration of the Bronson receives geometry improvements, a redesigned suspension layout, and new frame features for more capability all over the mountain. A slacker 64. 2-degree headtube angle and longer, size-specific chainstays give us more stability on steep terrain, and the steeper seat tube angle, averaging out at 78 degrees, ensures we are in an optimal position to efficiently put power to the pedals on technical climbs. The redesigned VPP suspension pivot layout rotates the rear shock forward in the frame and parallel to the ground, providing lower anti-squat values for a plusher, smoother ride that is still very efficient. More progressive suspension kinematics make for more traction both up and down, and when combined with reduced pedal kickback on descents, it makes for a more efficient bike all over the mountain. The new and improved frame shape adds a larger sag window to make sag reading and setup easier. The Bronson still sports its mixed-wheel setup for the best combination of agility and efficiency and a flip chip to slacken out our geometry for bike park days. The finishing features include Santa Cruz's Glovebox internal frame storage, chainstay and downtube protection, a threaded bottom bracket, and a SRAM UDH for easy replacements. The X0 Transmission Carbon Wheel build of the Santa Cruz Bronson is equipped with top-tier components. Hats off to Santa Cruz for equipping all of their builds, especially their higher-end builds, with premium components to match the price; no inadequate tires and casings, rotors, or outdated components we immediately want to swap out. On top of that, the latest components are featured in these builds, equipping us with recently released fork technology and brakes that complement the bike's ability and take our performance to the next level.
