About this product
The 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C GX AXS is a full-suspension trail and enduro mountain bike built around a carbon C frame that weighs only approximately 250 to 280 grams more than the higher-grade CC version, while sharing the same manufacturing facility, techniques, and overall strength and stiffness. The bike runs a mixed-wheel setup with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear (size XS uses 27.5-inch on both ends), paired with 160mm of front travel and 150mm of rear travel. Suspension duties are handled by Santa Cruz's lower-link mounted VPP system, which uses two short counter-rotating links to allow precise tuning of shock rates for the intended ride character. Geometry is adjustable via an integrated flip chip for high and low settings, and proportional chainstay lengths across the size range ensure consistent handling for all riders. A standout feature is the Glovebox, a sealed downtube storage compartment that includes a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse for organized trail-side access. Drivetrain is SRAM GX AXS wireless electronic.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C GX AXS for its excellent descending performance, plush and controlled VPP suspension, and confident handling on steep and technical terrain. The SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain earns consistent approval for its reliability and clean shifting, and the SRAM Maven Bronze brakes are noted as powerful stoppers. The updated geometry, with a longer rear center and slacker head angle, is widely credited for making the bike feel more balanced and intuitive. The most common criticism is that it is not the snappiest climber, and some users flag that it leans more toward enduro than general trail riding. A few forum users also note the dropper post can feel undersized on smaller frames, and the bottom bracket rock guard uses brittle plastic prone to cracking.
