Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C R Complete Mountain Bike 2025

You've heard "when in doubt, take a Bronson out", but what if the first clause is simply obliterated? The Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C R Complete Mountain Bike is the next evolution of a storied lineage, a genre-spanning all rounder with a wild side that begs to be let loose. The secret sauce lies in a new approach to mixed wheel geometry. Santa Cruz has crunched the numbers and come up with longer chainstays, slacker head tube angles, and a subtle shift in shock positioning to reduce anti-squat for more balanced, intuitive ride. The result is a bike that attacks both the climb and the descent with maximum confidence. Yeehaww!

Product Details

Key Features:
Carbon C Frame: A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Travel: 160mm Front / 150mm Rear
Wheel Size: Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear) / Size XS: 27.5"
Lower-Link Mounted 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. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
The Glovebox™: Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
Proportional Chainstay Lengths: With rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.
Integrated Flip Chip for High / Low Geometry Setting
