Santa Cruz has done a fantastic job in making its designs available at all price points, since a ten-thousand-dollar mountain bike just isn’t in the cards for most of us. Case in point is the Bronson Carbon with the R kit you see here. The Bronson’s 150mm of travel is controlled by a highly-refined Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension design. These counter-rotating links serve to balance pedaling forces and trail input in a manner that provides a progressive trip through the travel and a firm pedaling platform.
Focusing on VPP takes care of a lot of what we like about the Bronson, but that’s selling the carbon wizards at Santa Cruz a bit short. Santa Cruz constructs each bike’s front and rear triangles as single pieces, rather than a series of bonded parts, and wraps carbon around all of the junctures to ensure continuous fibers to dissipate the load placed on the frame. On top of that, Santa Cruz frames are just as smooth inside as they are outside, due to an extremely high level of compaction in the molds. This ensures there are no air bubbles in the layers, and no surprises on the trails. This particular frame is constructed from what Santa Cruz calls C Carbon, meaning it’s a bit less expensive and a bit heavier than the premium, CC Carbon. Real life difference is plus or minus 280 grams, and all the strength and stiffness stats are identical between the two frames.
The R kit spec’d here includes a 2x10 Shimano SLX/XT drivetrain, RockShox Recon fork, Fox Float CTD Evolution shock, SRAM’s MTH hubs laced to WTB rims, and wrapped in Maxxis tires.
