Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesHaving a versatile rig with enough muscle to get you down the sketchy stuff, while also getting you back up the mountain with juice to spare is a highly desired combo that used to be unheard of. With that said, one ride on the Santa Cruz Bronson 2.0 A R1x Complete Mountain Bike and you might become a believer. A tailored 150 mm VPP® suspension yields ascending and descending performance like no Santa Cruz ever before. Refined, composed and durable thanks to its aluminum frame, the Santa Cruz Bronson 2.0 A R1x Complete Mountain Bike presents a killer value on one of the most desirable bikes in the game.
Aluminum Alloy Frame – Santa Cruz continues to offer most of their models in aluminum because it delivers a rocker solid ride experience at a great price. All Santa Cruz VPP® aluminum bikes mirror the same geometry (and paint jobs) as their carbon siblings.
150 mm VPP® Suspension – Virtual Pivot Point (VPP®) is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. The beauty of VPP® suspension is that the short links allow Santa Cruz to create compact tidy suspension designs. Combine that with large diameter pivot axles running on angular contact bearings and you get the integrity, responsiveness and precision that Santa Cruz frames are famous for.

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 1x11 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.
SRAM XG-1150 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 the X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.

SRAM Level T Brakes – 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 DHR2 TR | Rear Tire – The Minion DHR II is a complete redesign. Acceleration, cornering and braking have all been improved. The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tire. The center tread has been heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Pair the DHR II with the Minion DHF for the ultimate aggressive riding combo.
Race Face AR27 Rims – Built from 6061 aluminum and made with the most modern production methods that create a super strong sidewall with less material, you know these wheels mean business. Lightweight designed for the all mountain application and you can shed even more weight by setting these up tubeless. Less weight equals more ride time and more fun.
