Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

Santa Cruz Bronson C XE 27.5 Mountain Bike 2018 Carbon/Sriracha

Season:2018

Brand:Santa Cruz

Code:SCS686-SCRUZ18

New for this year, the Santa Cruz Bronson C XE 27.5 Mountain Bike 2018 gets a fresh set of paintjobs, as well as an updated build kit.

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. Equally at home in the Trans-Provence as it was on The ridge, updating and improving was going to be no small feat.

The most visible upgrade to Santa Cruz Bronson 2.0 is a completely new VPP® link arrangement. The lower link tucks neatly above the bottom bracket, fully-recessed and protected from impacts. Meanwhile the box-section upper link now mounts cleanly to the top tube and enhances lateral stiffness as a result. Shock rate’s 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. The seat tube angle’s been steepened, placing the rider right above the cranks and perfectly in position to lay down the power. Meanwhile a 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.
