The Core All-Rounder With a Wild Side

When you can only have one bike, and your mission is to ride that bike into oblivion then this is the one. From manicured bike parks to blown out loamy berms, alpine lines to backyard trails, the Bronson is as at home in the air as it is in the dirt. For the rider with a Peter Pan disposition or who wants to get into a pan flat tabletop position, the Bronson encourages bad behavior.

Do you think this Bronson looks a little different? You've got a good eye, because the 2025 season brings the fifth generation of this model with even more refined geometry. By lengthening the rear construction and modifying the head angle, the rider's weight is more evenly distributed between the two wheels, resulting in more reliable traction and a more confident ride!

What you should be interested in is the drastically reduced anti-squat. Santa Cruz achieved this by modifying the design of the VPP™ system. It refers to how much your pedaling inputs stiffen the suspension. Think of it as yanking your chain, and therefore your pedals, backwards every time you hit a bump. Not enough anti-squat and you have a bike that bobs under power. Too much and the bike will be harsh and not as able to absorb bumps while under power. They've worked hard to improve (reduce) anti-squat on their bikes and the result is more traction and more freedom.

The combination of MX wheels: 29-inch wheel up front and 27.5-inch in the rear. Provides stability and a lighter handling on the front due to the weight bias (greater BB drop from front axle). MX bikes feel more neutral when pointed downhill and the lesser BB drop to rear axle allows more influence on the rear. This gives confidence to point and shoot, but the ability to change lines or move the bike faster.

Key features:

• Wheel size: MX (front wheel 29", rear wheel 27.5")
• Front travel: 160 mm
• Rear travel: 150 mm
