2025 Santa Cruz Bronson C MX, Size XL — Carbon Full-Suspension MTB, SRAM T-Type

The 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson C MX is a no-compromise all-mountain / enduro bike built for aggressive trail riding, bike parks, and technical descents while still climbing efficiently. Featuring Santa Cruz’s legendary carbon frame and MX (mullet) wheel setup—29” front and 27.5” rear—this Bronson delivers outstanding front-end stability with a playful, responsive rear end.

This bike is equipped with the latest SRAM T-Type 12-speed drivetrain (70/GX), paired with a wide-range 10–52 cassette and 32T chainring, offering smooth, durable shifting under load and excellent climbing range. Braking duties are handled by Magura MT hydraulic brakes, known for their powerful, consistent modulation on long descents.

Up front, the FOX 36 Performance fork (160mm travel) provides confidence and control on steep, rough terrain, while the RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock (150mm travel) keeps the rear end planted and responsive through chunky sections and high-speed hits. The suspension setup strikes an ideal balance between downhill capability and pedal efficiency.

The DT Swiss EX511 wheels are built for abuse and trail durability, set up tubeless-ready and wrapped in aggressive Maxxis Minion DHF 2.5 (front) and Maxxis Assegai 2.4 (rear) tires for maximum traction and control. A premium cockpit rounds things out with ENVE M7 carbon handlebars, a 40mm stem, and a dropper seatpost, keeping the riding position modern and aggressive.

At approximately 32 lb, this Size XL Bronson is ideal for riders roughly 5’11” to 6’5”. With under 5 miles, this is effectively a brand-new bike, in new condition, and ready to hit the trails immediately.

Why we love it

We love this Bronson because it’s the perfect blend of stability, aggression, and fun. The MX setup makes it confidence-inspiring on steep descents while staying playful in corners, the T-Type drivetrain is rock-solid under power, and the suspension package is dialed for real-world trail and enduro riding. It’s a true “do-everything” mountain bike that feels at home charging downhill, sessioning tech, or climbing back up for another lap.
