The Bronson C 90 is purpose-built for riders who crave the thrill of pushing their limits on challenging terrain. Santa Cruz understands the demands of enduro riding, proving superb versatility with its enhanced suspension kinematics and dialled geometry, with equal parts reliabilty; a bombproof frame and robust rider support providing you all the confidence you need to charge down every descent flat out!

MILLIMETERS MATTER
Aimed towards riders who spend a lot of time in the steeps and/or prioritise agility over rolling speed.
Taking learnings from more recent MX bikes, Santa Cruz has balanced the handling to create a more intuitive yet still bold ride.
The lower VPP™ link is forward and low to optimise anti-squat. Resulting is a plush, open ride feel.
Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry.
MIXED WHEELS
● The BB drop differs front to rear (as opposed to full 29 or 27.5).
● You have more stability in front, less in rear - makes the bike handle more neutrally when pointed downhill.
● MX bikes will feel lighter on the front due to the weight bias.
● Provides more freedom in chainstay length - size specific chainstay lengths, especially good for shorter riders.
