Santa Cruz Bronson 2022 Review - Mullet makes a HUGE difference!
Рет қаралды 19,233
Күн бұрынToday is NEW BIKE DAY! Santa Cruz Bronson 2022 Review will not only feature some riding clips with the new whip but also talk about what I felt needed to be upgraded first to make the bike a true trail slayer!
I am so thankful to everyone who helped make this day possible! When my Giant Reign got stolen I feared I wouldn't even be able to find another bike with the way supply is right now. Luckily I found this beast at the Hub in Brevard, NC and it just happened to fit me perfectly!
Join me while I go over what makes this bike perfect for my riding style and show you around my work at Kolo Bike Park in Asheville, NC!
Jumps, pump tracks and tons of features are so much fun for a variety of riding skill levels. Don't sleep on their single track trails either as some of the new jump trails are serious fun!

Daim i feel you, my Hightower lt just got stolen and I am completely lost. Had an insurance, but they don’t pay because of some bullshit argument. Because you could enter the cellar because the landlord let workers in. Proposed to give me 20% instead of full. Well I’m venting . Just so devastated. Glad you found support and this bike looks amazing. Would be interesting to get a long term review! The gold looks so good!

Nice review man. Oddly enough, after almost 3 years of Megatower ownership, I'm sort of considering one of these as my next frame. Seems like it could serve me well for the couple enduros I do a year and the handful of park trips I do! Reminds of those natural East coast rocky trails

I'm afraid Santa Cruz is just bling. Reasonable quality. Unjustifiable cost. 10 year old technology. I loved mine when I bought it 2 years ago. No expense spared. Wore out brushes, and industry 9 hubs. The only thing I though was worth it were the Santa Cruz carbon reserve wheels, although as I said the hubs wore out quickly. I dont think they design for Yorkshire conditions.

Congrats on the new rig. I’m looking hard into buying this bike. I currently ride a YT Jeffsy with a bunch of upgrades to ride park. I’m in the same boat looking for a do it all bike since I ride mainly in south Florida with a few yearly trips to the bike parks. I’m concerned with the 150 travel in the rear for those park days. How does the rear suspension handle the gnarlier park stuff? I’m not an experienced rider and I’m also on the heave side. So I may need a more forgiving sus in the rear. But, the mullet set up is drawing my attention hard. Nice video. Got another sub here. 🤟🏼
@MtbFrequentFlyer 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate! I felt the 150 in the rear to be plenty for the black diamonds at snowshoe that I rode! That being said I am making the move to cane creek suspension but that’s just a personal preference. I made a video or two at snowshoe this year with the new rig so check those out to see how it handled. You will love the mullet ! Happy bike hunting mate!
