Bronson Carbon CC XX1 Complete Mountain Bike - 2015

In its short time so far on the all-mountain scene, the 2015 Santa Cruz Bicycles Bronson Carbon CC XX1 Complete Mountain Bike has made its mark as one of the most versatile race machines out there, blasting its way to enduro podiums across the world. This bike pairs Santa Cruz's awesome Bronson Carbon CC frame with some of the best componentry out there to bring you a race-worthy machine that can tackle any trail you choose to throw at it.

Under the hood of the Bronson sits a fine-tuned Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) suspension that's been specifically optimized to pair with this bike's 27.5in wheels for the best ride possible. VPP isn't new to the game, it's a well-loved design renowned for striking just the right balance between forgiving travel and solid pedaling. It centers on two aluminum counter links that work together to balance squat either side of the sag point for consistent pedal mechanics across all manner of all-mountain trail furniture.

FOX Float CTD technology pairs with this system to allow you to customize the suspension on-the-fly to match the terrain and your specific riding needs. You can bomb through technical descents and power up the next climb without any feeling of power loss or bogging down. Santa Cruz uses its easy to maintain collet-style pivot hardware to hold it all together, so you can rest assured that the pivots can be kept tight throughout the frame's life.

The Bronson CC features Santa Cruz's top-end Carbon CC construction, which is both lighter and stiffer than the Carbon C frames for a lightning fast trail experience. The front and rear triangles are manufactured as one piece, allowing for long, uninterrupted carbon fibers for a frameset that is stronger and more durable than those constructed from a multitude of sub-assemblies. both pieces are also compacted from inside and out, reducing excess epoxy resin and material for an overall lower weight that doesn't sacrifice any strength.

Santa Cruz builds up this frame with SRAM's top-line XX1 one-by drivetrain and an industry-leading Shimano XTR brake system to deliver professional-level functionality and reliability every time you clip in. At the front, a RockShox Pike RCT3 Solo Air fork gives you 150mm of travel for smart tracking over nasty terrain, while tubeless-ready WTB Asym i23 TCS rims laced to bombproof DT Swiss 240 hubs wind up and roll fast down any trail.
