When you can only have one bike, and your mission is to ride it into oblivion, this is the one. From manicured bike parks to blown-out loamy berms, alpine lines to backyard trails, the Bronson feels just as at home in the air as it does in the dirt. For the rider with a Peter Pan disposition or anyone looking to get into a pan-flat tabletop position, the Bronson encourages bad behavior.
The Bronson’s suspension and geometry work in harmony to create a settled, assured ride that feels as if it's whispering to you, ‘You’ve got this. Don’t brake. Go for the side hit. Do it.’ You might even find yourself asking your riding buddies for another lap.
MILLIMETERS MATTER
ON THE TRAIL, IT FEELS OFF THE CHAIN!
This is the best VPP™ we’ve ever made. There’s more traction on offer, and it makes for a very composed descender. The lower VPP™ link is placed low and forward to optimize anti-squat. The result is a plush, open feel with a lot of traction, and minimal kickback on square-edge hits.
