Santa Cruz Bicycles says...

The Bronson is a mountain biker's mountain bike. The quintessential all-mountain machine. A bike that specializes in nothing, but excels at pretty much everything. We've been fans ever since the first generation that came out in 2013, but the newest generation is the best one yet thanks to the new lower-link VPP suspension, updated geometry, and a host of other refinements that altogether make up an impressive package.

And with this aluminum version, you can get all that Bronson goodness without breaking the bank. The third generation Bronson receives the lower-link VPP treatment that's now widespread in the Santa Cruz lineup.

The Bronson also sees some significant changes to geometry, pushing it further into the gravity spectrum. The reach and wheelbase are longer and the head tube is slacker, providing more stability during high-speed sections and technical descents.
