DESCRIPTION
The Santa Cruz Bronson 5 is a versatile and robust mountain bike designed for riders who seek an all-rounder with a wild side. It features a 150mm VPP™ rear travel and a 160mm fork, combined with mixed wheels (29" front, 27.5" rear) to deliver balanced handling, especially in steep and technical terrains. With an evolved MX geometry and reconfigured VPP™ suspension, the Bronson 5 offers a smoother and more efficient ride by reducing anti-squat. This bike is ideal for those who prioritize agility and a bold ride, allowing for precise control on descents while maintaining stability and confidence on rough trails.

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
