The NEW Santa Cruz Bronson 2025 V5
Since August 2024, Santa Cruz has introduced the brand new Bronson V5 2025, which features some very interesting changes.
The new shock linkage of the proven VPP rear triangle has been significantly changed, but the basic design remains the same. The shock now sits much flatter in the frame triangle and the front shock eyelet slides into the down tube.
There is also another visual change to the main frame. A small triangle opens up diagonally at the front above the bottom bracket, which can be seen through from both sides. The SAG damper can thus be easily read.
Now let's move on from the visuals to the technical facts of the new Bronson:
- Slacker head angle of 63.9 degrees in the low setting and 64.2 degrees in the high setting
- Chainstays extended by 4 mm (chainstay length depends on frame size)
These two changes ensure that the rider is more centralised on the bike, significantly improving smoothness, handling and control. The 27.5-inch rear wheel and the MX setup, which remains unchanged, mean that the bike is still a manoeuvrable, playful trail bike.
In addition, the new rear suspension kinematics have significantly improved the anti-squat value, making the Bronson an even better climbing bike. The new Bronson will not only get you down the mountain better and smoother, but also up it.
The suspension travel remains the same as before with 150mm at the rear and 160mm at the front.
The new colours are just as polarising as the rest of the bike. Kalimoto, which was already used by Santa Cruz a few years ago, and Gloss Root Beer are new. We think both colourways are very successful.
In general, it can be said that Santa Cruz is making a statement in the trail bike sector with the NEW Bronson V5, which is characterised by a stylish bike with many small improvements. Our opinion: Extremely successful.
