An aluminum bike with 27.5" wheels, made for crashing and bashing with the solitary goal of fun? Welcome to the Santa Cruz Bicycles Bronson A S Complete Mountain Bike, the playbike of choice for loose riders and bad deciders. The Bronson continues its long history of hooliganism with this build, chosen for action and durability: SRAM GX Eagle handles the locomotion, Code R on the stoppers, and a mix of RockShox and Fox handle the over-sends and cases. Turn off your Strava and go have a blast!
Aluminum Frame
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ Rear Shock – Super Deluxe Select+ is built for the latest breed of hard hitting enduro and trail bikes. Offering the ride control you need paired with a user-friendly threshold adjustment all rolled into a great high performance-to-value package. They even threw in Maxima Plush fluid to reduce friction and silence noise.

SRAM’s signature ergonomics are supplemented by the tool-free reach adjust for a fit to each riders’ needs, to unleash Code’s superior braking power, consistency and modulation.
Avid CenterLine Rotors – The new CenterLine Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.
