Maybe the Santa Cruz Bronson does need an introduction. The latest Bronson is a massively different beast to the Bronson Mk1.

Purpose-built around mixed wheel sizes with an up-to-date aggressive trail riding geometry, the new Bronson maintains the versatility of its predecessor...

The Heckler's new 720 Wh battery gives it even more range for big adventures.
Very versatile, balanced geometry
720 Wh battery gives it plenty of range for most rides
High cost of entry
Some of the spec choices don't align with the bike's capabilities, like the EXO+ tires and 200mm front rotor

The sort of bike that takes risks, but can always get away with it
Fast acceleration
Efficient, refined suspension
Excellent execution of mixed-wheel design
No aluminum version
High entry-level cost

We spent six months rallying the new Santa Cruz Bronson. Here is our final conclusion.
Efficient pedaler
Smashes rocks
Pops lips
Geometry hits a sweet spot
Ample frame protection
Santa Cruz 35 bars
Short dropper post
No alloy versions

For the longest time, the Santa Cruz Bronson has been the quintessential 150mm travel trail bike in the Santa Cruz line, the new Bronson offers mullet.
Pitter-patter suspension
Front end is too high
Nov 2021 · Ian Collins
I found the Santa Cruz Bronson MX 2022 to be an excellent candidate for the narrow one-bike-to-rule-them-all sliver of the market.
Oct 2021 · Alex Evans
Santa Cruz attempts to retain the do-it-all Bronson's playful ride characteristics while switching to a mullet wheel setup
Inspired moments of descending prowess
Excellent climbing performance
Supple-feeling frame, wheels and bar
High front-end won’t suit some riders
Certain spec choices not ideal given price
Expensive
