Bronson Carbon CC 2025

The original all-mountain bike and the standard by which all others will be measured, the Bronson is one of the first models that spring to mind whenever mountain bike riders around the world think about Santa Cruz. A true MTB classic renown for it's swiss-army knife approach to trail shredding.

The Fifth generation Bronson pushes the boundaries with new lower VPP™ link placement that is even lower than previous and more forward to optimize anti-squat. The result is a plush, open feel with a lot of traction. This is the best VPP™ we’ve ever made. There’s more traction on offer, and it makes for a very composed descender.

“Santa Cruz has possibly created the best feeling VPP™ bike I’ve ridden, aside from the bump-eating V10.” - The Loam Wolf 2024

“This bike represents perfection in terms of kinematics and geometry. Without a doubt, the best trail bike we have ever tested.” - MTB Mag (Italy)

The Santa Cruz Bronson makes use of a mixed wheel size, giving the benefit of high traction, fast-rolling 29" wheels on front and agile, responsive 27.5" wheels out back making for a playful, composed ride suitable for any trail you could wish to send it down.

The CC spec is manufactured using Santa Cruz's highest grade carbon and most complex lay-up technique to reduce weight and increase stiffness. The frame is covered by the industry best Santa Cruz warranty and lifetime linkage bearing replacement program.

Available with the sought after SRAM XO AXS Transmission drivetrain and your option to upgrade to Reserve Carbon wheels, a Santa Cruz Bronson could be the ultimate trail/enduro bike and your new best friend for miles of super-speed mountain biking goodness.
