The Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon C S AM 2017 is the latest version of the Santa Cruz Bronson in all new colours, complete with a great budget build that includes a SRAM GX 1x11 drivetrain!

When the Santa Cruz Bronson was first introduced, it took the market by storm and redefined what people expected from a 150mm trail bike. With an even further refined design the Bronson utilises its incredible stiffness and weight to create a nimble, aggressive riding style. This beauty of a bike was equally at home in the Trans-Provence as it was on The Ridge so updating and improving it was going to be a big deal..

Santa Cruz Bronson 2 C Features

• The most visible upgrade on the Santa Cruz Bronson V2 is the completely new VPP® link arrangement; the lower link tucks neatly above the bottom bracket, fully-recessed and protected from impacts
• The box-section upper link now mounts cleanly to the top-tube and enhances lateral stiffness as a result. 
• Shock rates have been refined in the process too, delivering greater small bump sensitivity and a more progressive mid-stroke
• Geometry has also evolved subtly to meet demand from riders for a bike of this ilk; seat tube angle’s been steepened, placing the rider right above the cranks and perfectly in position to lay down the power
• One-degree slacker 66 degree head tube angle combines with a 20-25mm longer top tube and shorter chainstay length to create an evermore rally-ready geometry than its predecessor

The C-Level carbon frame found on the 2017 Santa Cruz Bronson boasts the same level of stiffness and strength as the higher tiered CC-level frame, but with the sacrifice of a bit more weight (280 grams heavier than the CC frame) to ensure the proper reinforcement is provided.
