“When you can only have one bike, and your mission is to ride that bike into oblivion then the Santa Cruz Bronson<\/a><\/strong> is the one for you…

This is the fifth generation of the well known and admired Bronson. And there\u2019s been some big changes. Suspension is where they made the most dramatic advances. Anti-squat is one of the key attributes that make a mountain bike perform well, and they decided to lower it again \u2013 a lot.

The lower VPP\u2122 link is placed even lower and more forward to optimize anti-squat. The result is a plush, open feel with a lot of traction. This is the best VPP\u2122 they’ve ever made. There\u2019s more traction on offer, and it makes for a very composed descender.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
