2022 Santa Cruz Bronson 4

The true definition of a mountain bike.

You don't have to narrow down where or when you want to ride. The Bronson can handle it all. The VPP suspension leaves no wasted energy when you're heading back up the hill.

The Bronson is a mixed-wheel or mullet bike, with 29" in the front and 27.5" back. The larger front wheel is more traction and stability. The 27.5-inch rear gets you in the air. So hit that obstacle and see where it takes you. Land with full confidence, and trek on. Every generation of this bike is better than the last. This one will really exceed your expectations.
