Bronson C GX AXS Transmission Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I recommend the Bronson when someone wants one bike that truly does it all—and does it rowdy. The mixed-wheel setup makes it playful and quick to pop, while the VPP suspension keeps it composed when speeds get high. The GX Eagle AXS Transmission is quiet, precise, and incredibly tough, which suits the Bronson’s ‘ride-it-into-oblivion’ personality perfectly.”

We ride the Bronson GX AXS Bike when the goal is maximum fun with minimal compromise. Built by Santa Cruz to thrive everywhere from jump-filled bike parks to raw alpine trails, the Bronson blends a playful attitude with serious trail capability. The mixed-wheel setup keeps handling snappy and responsive, encouraging quick direction changes, easy manuals, and confident takeoffs—while still holding speed when trails get steep and rough.

Underneath that playful feel is Santa Cruz’s VPP suspension platform, delivering 150mm of supportive rear travel paired with a 160mm FOX fork up front. The result is a bike that pedals efficiently, stays calm through chatter, and hits hard when the trail opens up. Add in the precision of SRAM’s GX Eagle AXS Transmission and powerful four-piston brakes, and the Bronson GX AXS becomes a true one-bike solution for riders who want to push limits, lap trails, and keep things fun no matter where they ride.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
