Bronson C Mountain Bike Frame

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This Bronson Frame C hits the sweet spot for riders who want a do-it-all machine that stays composed on chunky descents but still flicks and pops like a park bike. I built mine up mullet-style with a 160mm fork and it absolutely devours tech trails while keeping things lively on jump lines."

When we dream of a single bike that can handle everything from flowy jump trails to steep alpine missions, the Bronson Frame C from Santa Cruz always comes to mind. With its Carbon C layup, mixed wheel setup, and 150mm of VPP™ rear travel, it’s tailor-made for riders who go hard and want a frame that can keep up—no matter the terrain. Whether we’re railing through blown-out berms or boosting side hits, the Bronson never misses a beat.

Santa Cruz pairs this trail-shredding chassis with a FOX Float X Performance Elite shock, delivering controlled progression and plush small-bump compliance. The MX wheel compatibility offers the best of both worlds: a planted 29in front for confidence and a nimble 27.5in rear for whip-happy cornering. With frame details like a threaded bottom bracket, internal cable routing, and a lifetime warranty, the Bronson Frame C is the ultimate platform for an aggressive, all-terrain trail build.

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.
