Learn More About the 2026 Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C 90
The 2026 Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C 90 doesn’t care what trails you throw at it. Gaps, flow trails, rocky ridgelines. It’s ready to charge. What makes it stand out? Think precise handling that feels alive, a mixed-wheel setup that gives you the best of both worlds, plus components that focus on actual performance instead of flashy brand names.
Trail suspension
Up front, the FOX 36 Float Performance fork offers 160mm of travel that stays smooth and controlled. Whether you’re hitting big drops or technical sections, the GRIP damper keeps things steady without adding the bulk of a downhill fork. Out back, the FOX Float X Performance shock uses a 57.5mm stroke to keep traction and balance tight. It’s comfortable whether you’re grinding up steep climbs or bombing fast descents. FOX FLOAT X is engineered to meet the demands of aggressive Trail riders. It delivers sophisticated damping and fade-free performance on the roughest terrain. It's designed for outstanding durability while remaining impressively lightweight. The Performance series is the more affordable series of the FLOAT X lineup and focuses on durability, consistency and comfort with simplified adjustments for ease of use.
Drivetrain
Wireless shifting? Yes, please. The SRAM 90 Eagle T-Type drivetrain handles your gear changes with speed and precision. The 10-52t cassette covers an enormous range, easily tackling steep climbs or fast sweeps downhill. The lightweight 32-tooth crankset gets power where it needs to go without weighing you down. And the GX Eagle Flattop chain brings extra durability while complementing the whole setup perfectly.
Brakes
New SRAM Maven Base brakes paired with large HS2 rotors (200mm front, 180mm rear) deliver braking that feels solid even after long rides. Heat dissipation and modulation are dialed in so you won’t worry about fading on steep or technical trails.
Controls
OneUp gives the cockpit a comfortable yet precise edge. The aluminum bars and 42mm stem combine to put you exactly where you want to be on the bike. Custom Santa Cruz grips find a balance between cushion and grip for long days in the saddle. Drop the seat fast with the OneUp dropper post when the trail demands it. Comfort? The SDG Bel-Air V3 Lux-Alloy saddle keeps your sit bones happy without weighing down your ride. Cane Creek’s integrated headset ensures smooth steering and low maintenance.
Wheels and tires
Reserve 30|TR AL rims are lightweight but tough enough to hold up to aggressive riding. DT Swiss 370 hubs keep engagement quick and servicing simple with Boost spacing front and rear. Tires follow a mixed setup to marry speed and agility: a 29" Maxxis Assegai up front delivers cornering grip and control, while the 27.5" Maxxis Minion DHR II in the rear offers traction and playful handling.
The mix of wheel sizes feels just right. You get the rollover speed of a bigger front wheel and the nimble response of a smaller rear wheel.
Whenever the trail asks for everything you’ve got, the Santa Cruz Bronson 5 C 90 will take it. Versatile, tough, and ready for anything, it’s the kind of bike you won’t want to leave at home.
