The redesigned Santa Cruz Bronson slays downhills and delivers adequate climbing abilities. The Bronson is an intriguing one-bike quiver for downhill-minded trail riders who don’t want to ride a full-blown, burly, enduro bike. This bicycle operates well at blistering speeds on both flowy and rough trails while still being capable of a 30+ mile ride. Three testers spent four weeks riding the new Bronson as much as humanly possible. We embarked on all-day epics, attacked the most heinous climbs, and hammered laps at the bike park to determine the key ride characteristics. The Bronson’s reworked suspension layout features a Nomad-inspired lower-link shock mount. The new design pays off with impressive small bump compliance and the slightly more linear suspension curve is a nice change.Our Carbon S test bike retails for $5199 with a serviceable build kit. Entry-level aluminum build kits start at $3499.
