Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesBuilding upon the well-deserved hype of the original Bronson (1.0), the Santa Cruz Bicycles Bronson 2.0 A R Complete Mountain Bike boasts a completely new VPP® link arrangement that enhances lateral stiffness, better small bump sensitivity, and a more progressive mid-stroke. A refined geometry also yields a one-degree slacker 66° head tube angle and a shorter chainstay for an even more rally-ready rig! The tried and true durability of this bike's aluminum frame is built out with quickly-adapted Fox front/rear suspension, SRAM NX drivetrain components, and an RockShox Reverb remote-actuated dropper seatpost. An aggressively skewed and widely capable all-mountain rig doesn't need to cost as much as a new car, and the Santa Cruz Bicycles Bronson 2.0 A R Complete Mountain Bike proves it!
Aluminum Frame
150mm 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.
Fox Float Performance DPS – For a lightweight, inline shock, the DPS packs a lot of performance. The Dual Piston Base Valve has dedicated compression and rebound pistons, providing a firm lockout without compromising bump compliance, ride control, or efficiency. Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
Shock Adjustments – 3-Position Lever (Open, Medium, Firm) | Rebound Adjust | Air Spring Pressure
Double Sealed Pivots for Long Bearing Life
Forged Upper and Lower Links
Recessed Lower Link Protected from Rock Strikes
Molded Rubber Swingarm and Downtube Protection
Fox 34 Rhythm Fork – Rhythm forks feature 6000 series aluminum upper tubes along with the FIT GRIP damper.

SRAM NX 11-Speed Shifter – SRAM NX trigger shifter with X-ACTUATION™ technology gives you sharp, dependable shifting. Built for precise and swift shifting across SRAM's wide range 11-speed cassette, the NX trigger shifter brings industry changing technology to everyone.
SRAM NX 11-Speed Rear Derailleur – The SRAM NX X-HORIZON™ rear derailleur provides the same smooth, reliable shifting action as XX1—from the larger upper pulley offset to the 12-tooth X-SYNC™ pulley wheels. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-HORIZON™ shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with CAGE LOCK™ technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever.
Race Face Æffect Crankset – The Æffect crankset is designed to handle aggressive trail riding at a XC crank weight and attractive pricepoint. Featuring the Cinch System with its interchangeable spider options and Race Face's trusted 24mm EXI interface spindle, the Æffect is a rock solid crankset for today's XC and trail riders.
SRAM XG1150 CS 10-42T Cassette – FULL PIN™ technology uses eleven lightweight, stamped steel cogs held together with 123 high-strength stainless steel pins. The result: a cassette that’s light, durable and equipped with SRAM’s super wide 10-42t gear range that’s a perfect fit for any ride. The open design similar to our X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.
SRAM Level T Brakeset – Level T capitalizes on the same trail-taming brake technology that conquered the 2015 World Mountain Bike Championships, to deliver a powerful and consistent XC and trail-optimized brake set that keeps your capital in the bank. This budget-minded, MatchMaker™ compatible brake set provides all the power of its siblings, keeping you in complete control.
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.
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire – The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear Tire – With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo!
Race Face Æffect Dropper Seatpost – A budget friendly but rock solid option for riders wanting to enter the dropper market. A sealed damping system wrapped in 7075 aluminum makes for a lightweight dropper that can take the hits. Internal cable routing compatible for modern frame design.
