Expirience with the Santa Cruz BRONSON XX1 / AXS / RSV / CC / MX

Ludwig Döhl Different wheel sizes are extremely popular right now and that's why the BRONSON XX1 l rolls in a mullet setup. The low center of gravity and the VPP rear triangle make the Enduro a sturdy friend on descents. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Santa Cruz. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on very demanding single trails should be considered pleasant. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 11499 Euro . A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Santa Cruz sets the bar high!
