The Santa Cruz Bronson debuted in 2013 as one of the first 27.5 trail bikes available and made a name for itself as the pedal-worthy counterpart to its bigger sibling, the Nomad. In 2016, after hearing tales of hucking and technical prowess, I was lured by the 150 mm of travel in the front and rear, so I forked up the cash and became a Generation 2.0 Santa Cruz Bronson CC convert.

The Santa Cruz Bronson has already won a prize for the best release video of the year! But is the bike really as much fun as suggested in the clip?
You're guaranteed to have fun
Superb rear linkage
Excellent workmanship
Requires an active riding style
Chain comes off due to lack of a guide

8” tire if you'd like.
Ideal all-rounder, as long as you have the proper terrain
Efficient, calm and composed climber
Excellent cornering performance
Not the bike for riders looking for the absolute longest and slackest option
There's no 29" version...

To each its own: While the third-generation 5010 argues its case for evenly matched travel, the latest Bronson proves it's here to eat its own slice of the pie too.
