One of the truly iconic Santa Cruz models, the 150mm travel Bronson will do it all. Up for anything from EDR racing to laps of the local jump trail, the new V5 takes the Bronson to a whole new level with a host of subtle geometry adjustments and entirely new, re-mapped VPP suspension.
Longer, slacker and more balanced than ever, the V5 is the most downhill capable Bronson so far. Still based round the ever growing MX wheel setup, it combines size specific chain stays and seat angles to make sure that no matter the frame size, the performance gains aren't lost.
The new VPP suspension layout reduces anti squat and progression to improve climbing traction, reduce pedal kickback and give a more smooth and consistent suspension feel through the travel.
Need a bike that's up for anything, but easy to ride every day? The Bronson could well be the one for you.
