Santa Cruz introduce the Bronson, a 650b wheeled, 150mm sprung bicycle. Watch the video and have a read on to find out more about the Bronson (which I keep calling the Brosnan, Troy or Pierce).
Four Go Wild in Cap d’Ail. Steve Peat, Greg Minnaar, Josh Bryceland and Cedric Gracia get a little bit loose on the legendary French coast. The lads will be racing these at a few rounds of this years Enduro World Series.
BRONSON: 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING
Two decades of evolution at Santa Cruz brought us here. An entirely new frame, new wheel size and new perspective on what a 6” travel bike can conquer.
Bronson is not some rehashed 27.5″ tribute act to anything else in our range. It stands alone as testament to the years of designing and refining at our old Bronson Street facility.
With carbon and aluminum frame options, a massive range of kit choice and an unprecedented 10 possible decal combinations for the ENVE spec, Bronson represents our most customizable bike
ever.
Locked up for months of secret testing, Bronson breaks straight onto the scene as the Syndicate’s race bike for their Enduro World Series campaign.
From Tazmon to Bronson…Santa Cruz defines each new era. Welcome to our Group B. If you’re a spectator on track, please take a step back.
