Where it stands
Priced close to what German shops charge for this level of equipment, so it does not clear the margin we require before naming a pick.

The shop's feature list
- Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C R MX Kalimotxo 2025
- DER HARDCORE-ALLROUNDER. MIT EINEM STEILHANG FÜR WILDE TRAILS.
- Wenn Du nur ein Bike haben kannst und dieses Bike alles mitmachen muss. Dann ist das Bronson die perfekte Wahl. Von gepflegten Flowtrails bis zu ausgewaschenen Anliegern, von alpinen Abfahrten bis zum Hometrail - Das Bronson passt sich jeder Gelegenheit spielerisch an und ist in der Luft ebenso zu Hause wie in technischem Terrain. Aber Achtung: Es fördert wildes Fahrverhalten.
- Erhältlich in: C und CC Carbon
- Federweg vorne: 160mm
- Federweg hinten: 150mm
- Die Kombination aus Geometrie und Fahrwerk des Bronson bringt Energie auf den Trail und sorgt gleichzeitig für ein kontrolliertes und stabiles Fahrverhalten. Es flüstert Dir zu: "Du schaffst das. Nicht bremsen. Nimm den Sprung. Tu es!" Und das führt dazu, dass Du immer mehr willst und mehr bekommst.
- Die Optik des Bronson hat sich radikal verändert. Es ging aber nicht darum, das Ego eines Designers zu befriedigen oder aufzufallen, sondern nur darum, die Position des Lower-Links und des Dämpfers nach unten und nach vorne zu verlagern, um den Anti-Squat zu senken für ein radikal besseres Fahrgefühl.
