Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C MX 90
$7,799.95
When you can only have one bike and your mission is to ride it into oblivion, this is the one. From manicured bike parks to blown-out loamy berms, alpine lines to backyard trails, the Bronson is as at home in the air as it is in the dirt. For the rider with a Peter Pan disposition, or who wants to get into a pan-flat tabletop position, the Bronson encourages bad behaviour.
Description
Why We Like It
The Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C MX 90 is a premium all-mountain bike built for riders who want playful handling without sacrificing confidence on big descents. Featuring 150mm of VPP rear suspension, a 160mm RockShox Lyrik Base fork, and mixed-wheel geometry, the Bronson combines the rollover ability of a 29-inch front wheel with the agility of a 27.5-inch rear. Whether you’re riding technical singletrack, enduro-style terrain, or bike park laps, it delivers a fun, capable ride that encourages pushing your limits.
Built around Santa Cruz’s Carbon C frame, the Bronson 90 upgrades to SRAM’s Eagle 90 T-Type transmission for crisp shifting under load, while Reserve aluminum wheels, SRAM DB8 brakes, and integrated Glovebox storage round out a build that’s durable, dependable, and ready for aggressive trail riding.
