When the boss asks if we're working hard or hardly working, well, it depends on the context because we only work hard if it means getting our hands on the Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon CC XX1 Eagle AXS Reserve Mountain Bike. This no-holds-barred, all options open bike mixes some of the best of the best componentry along with undeniable quality. The Bronson is made for enduro racing and aggressive park riding and tempts us to skimp work to hit the park just one more time before the season ends. The mixed wheelbase expertly has us rolling over obstacles, getting through techy chunder, and flying high over big gaps. The aggressive and enduro-focused Bronson doesn't skimp out on geometry. This big-hitter bike is dialed for rolling through aggressive trails and hitting harsh huck-to-flats while out on the dirt. The integrated flip-chip can drop the bike between high and low settings, but in the low setting, we're running the bike with an ultra-slack 64. 5 head-tube angle. This gives the bike a stable feel in the rough but keeps it nimble enough to get us safely through the chunder. The 76. 6 seat-tube angle keeps us planted while going up and over-aggressive climbs, while the nice and long 472mm reach on a size large is great for when the speeds get high. Suspension performance is handled with a mix of Fox and RockShox performance parts, specifically chosen by the Santa Cruz team to give their VPP linkage the best possible riding quality. A Fox 36 fork takes care of the front end, while a RockShox Super Deluxe calms down all the trail chunder thrown its way. Tried and tested drivetrain duties are taken care of with the SRAM Eagle XX1 AXS group, this lightweight and durable drivetrain brings in electronic shifting for reliable shifts with every click of the button. RaceFace hoops have been outfitted to this Bronson, offering a strong 30mm internal width so we can confidently run wider tires to gain an impressive amount of ground contact. We're riding into new terrain ...
