Aggressive trail performance meets mixed-wheel versatility in the Bronson GX AXS Bike with modern suspension and wireless shifting
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“The Bronson’s VPP suspension is one of the most balanced trail platforms out there—it pedals efficiently without feeling harsh on descents. The MX wheel setup adds playfulness without sacrificing control, and the GX Eagle AXS Transmission is rock-solid under power. It’s a bike that rewards riders who like to push hard and ride creatively.”
The Bronson GX AXS Bike is engineered as a highly capable trail platform that blends downhill confidence with playful handling. Santa Cruz’s Carbon C frame provides a stiff, durable foundation while maintaining a compliant trail feel. The mixed-wheel configuration—29in up front and 27.5in in the rear—enhances maneuverability in tight terrain while preserving stability at speed.
At the heart of the bike is Santa Cruz’s VPP suspension system, delivering 150mm of rear travel with a leverage curve tuned for efficiency and control. Paired with a 160mm FOX 36 fork and FOX Float X shock, the suspension remains supportive through aggressive riding while maintaining traction and composure on technical climbs. This balance allows the Bronson to handle everything from long trail rides to park-style laps.
SRAM’s GX Eagle AXS Transmission provides precise, load-resistant shifting with a robust direct-mount derailleur design, while powerful four-piston brakes deliver consistent stopping power. With modern geometry, durable components, and a suspension platform trusted by aggressive trail riders, the Bronson GX AXS stands out as a do-it-all trail bike built for riders who want one machine that thrives everywhere.
