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 behaviour.

Suspension

The Bronson’s looks have changed radically. It wasn’t to satisfy the ego of a designer or stand out, but rather moving the location of the lower link and the shock down low and forward was paramount in lowering the anti-squat for a wild bike like the Bronson.

What is Anti-Squat?

Anti-squat 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. We’ve worked hard to improve (reduce) anti-squat on our bikes and the result is more traction and more freedom.

Millimeters Matter

Moving any of the VPP™ pivots a couple millimeters in any direction makes wild adjustments to the ride quality. The lower VPP™ link is placed low and forward to optimize anti-squat. The result is a plush, open feel with a lot of traction.

Traits of the Bronson

• Minimal kickback on square-edge hits

• Remains active while pedaling up and across rough, technical terrain

• More sensitivity. The suspension is quite plush off the top, with fluttery small bump performance

• Leverage rate provides predictable, consistent, progressive support

On the Trail

This is the best VPP™ we’ve ever made. There’s more traction on offer, and it makes for a very composed descender.

Hardware

The pivots and links are great at maintaining a consistent ride for many years. It’s all very tough, reliable and easy to work on. Plus, owners get a lifetime of replacement pivot bearings.

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.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.

Santa Cruz Bike Sizing Tips

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, then you choose the size based on your personal preference.

A larger size frame will be more stable and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

Another thig to consider is that not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.
