The Santa Cruz Bronson 5 Carbon C R is all about fun, with a design that encourages aggressive riding and technical play. Its Carbon C frame is lightweight yet durable, utilising Santa Cruz’s VPP™ suspension system to give you better pedalling efficiency while remaining plush over rough terrain. The bike’s lower anti-squat design helps minimise pedal kickback, making the suspension more active and offering better traction and control on both climbs and descents.
Up front, the 160mm RockShox Lyrik Base fork delivers consistent performance on rocky and rooty trails, while the 150mm FOX Float Rhythm rear shock absorbs big hits and provides excellent support, keeping the Bronson stable and predictable even on the most technical terrain.
The SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain gives you a wide range of gears to tackle steep climbs and fast descents, while the SRAM DB8 Stealth hydraulic disc brakes with 200mm rotors provide powerful and reliable stopping power in all conditions. The mixed-wheel setup, with a 29” front wheel for stability and speed and a 27.5” rear wheel for agility, offers the best of both worlds, ensuring the Bronson is nimble enough for tight corners but stable enough to charge down fast, technical sections.
