The Bronson is not a further development from the company's current range, but a completely new development. The Santa Cruz engineers have incorporated all the experience from the company's 20-year history into the new model. As the old factory is located on Bronson Street, it was obvious to give this new development the honorable name "Bronson". To give the new development a worthy appearance, the "Santa Cruz Syndicate" team, led by downhill world champion Greg Minaar, will compete in the Enduro World Series with frames from the series production.

The weight of this enduro bike is also interesting. 2.4 kilograms for the size medium carbon frame, including the shock absorber, really isn't much. Just think that ten years ago, the fully frames of top cross-country athletes were still heavier and less stable. The Bronson aluminum frame is said to weigh 3.1 kilograms for the same size. The frame is also equipped with an internal guide for the Rock Shox "Reverb Stealth", a direct mount for the derailleur and many other ingenious details. As usual, Santa Cruz offers a five-year warranty on the frame and a lifetime warranty on the bearings. This applies to the first owner in each case.

For shock absorption, Santa Cruz uses a Fox "Float CTD" shock specially tuned to the kinematics of the rear triangle. As a result, the Californians promise the best possible suspension performance of the rear triangle. In order to dampen stone and chain impacts on the stays and down tube, these areas are fitted with molded rubber protectors.
The recommended retail price for the Swiss market is 3,590 Swiss francs for the frame and 6,290 Swiss francs for the complete bike.
The market launch of the carbon frame is planned for April. That of the aluminum model in May.
