Product Details
The Santa Cruz Bronson 5 CC X0 AXS is a true all-rounder that thrives on adventure, perfectly designed for the thrill-seeker who demands versatility and performance. With its MX (mixed-wheel) setup, the Bronson 5 combines a 29-inch front wheel for stability and a nimble 27.5-inch rear wheel, allowing you to confidently charge down any trail while retaining excellent maneuverability. It’s a bike built for variety—whether you're catching air at the bike park or weaving through alpine descents, the Bronson’s adaptable nature shines, delivering an engaging, responsive ride that encourages pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Engineered around Santa Cruz’s advanced VPP suspension, this model features 160mm of front travel and 150mm at the rear, giving you control in rough terrain and plush performance on smaller bumps. By lowering the anti-squat through repositioned pivots, the Bronson 5 optimizes traction and smooths out your pedaling experience, especially over technical climbs. This refined anti-squat tuning enhances suspension activity without sacrificing efficiency, giving the Bronson an exceptional balance between control and compliance. The lower-link VPP configuration also minimizes pedal kickback on square-edge hits, adding to its capacity for absorbing bumps and enhancing ride quality.
Constructed from high-grade CC Carbon, this model comes equipped with SRAM’s X0 Eagle Transmission AXS drivetrain for smooth, wireless shifting and robust stopping power via SRAM Maven Silver Stealth brakes. Its Reserve rims bring both strength and lightweight performance, providing durability across diverse conditions. Designed to be trail-ready for years, the Bronson also includes Santa Cruz’s lifetime warranty on pivot bearings, ensuring you can rely on this bike for the long haul.
With an updated geometry and hardware designed to handle aggressive riding styles, the Bronson 5 CC X0 AXS is a premier choice for riders looking to expand their trail options with confidence, style, and versatility.
