Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon CC XX1 Reserve 27.5+ Mountain Bike 2020

The Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon CC XX1 Reserve 27.5+ Mountain Bike is an incredibly versatile trail bike that is great for exploring far into the unknown. It blends the exact right amounts of agility and stability to enable it to excel over everything from the hardest-hitting, technical jump lines through fast and furious fire roads.

The full carbon frame features an advanced material layup to comprehensively manage the extreme stresses and strains encountered during hard off-road riding. This chassis incorporates a VPP lower-link-mounted, one-piece swingarm, rear suspension design that promotes composed impact management, consistent mid-stroke support and exact rear wheel tracking to afford snappy handling and maximum pedalling efficiency. The RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork then complements this with its plush levels of suspension increasing trail accuracy and precision, even when the terrain is at its most testing.

The ride sensation of the frame can then be altered via the Flip Chip feature. This technology places a neat, user-configurable unit within the rear suspension system to adjust bottom bracket height, shock rate, bottom-out resistance and mid-stroke support in line with the forthcoming trails ahead.

With the 27.5+ wheelset and its 2.6” tyres offering a combination of grip and cushioning, there's no compromise between support and precision. The Santa Cruz Reserve rims integrate a specific carbon configuration to afford increased strength and resilience before the i9 Hydra hubset encases slick bearings within a hardy, precision manufactured shell.

The 12-speed cassette issues a vast array of gear ratios and these are actuated with proficiency by the range-topping, wireless, SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS groupset. The carbon crank arms and partnering oversized DUB axle ensure efficient forward drive before powerful but modulated braking is gifted by a fully hydraulic setup.

The RockShox Reverb dropper seatpost allows for on-the-fly saddle height adjustment in line with trail complexity before the Santa Cruz carbon handlebar and i9 A35 stem crown an incredibly meticulous off-road build.
