The spirited power of Embolden E+ entices you to say yes at every turn, tackling new terrain while having a blast, and riding farther and faster than before.Ī SyncDrive Sport motor, new fully integrated EnergyPak Smart 625Whr or 500Whr battery, handlebar-mounted RideControl ONE, and Smart Assist Technology mean going farther, faster, and more efficiently than before. Sizes Small – X-Large: 29-inch front / 27.5-inch rear But a 27.5-inch tire in the rear means this bike still loves getting up on the back wheel and into the air.įrom flat out on the trail to fully flat over a table, each generation of Bronson rider redefines expectations of what a mountain biker is. The larger front wheel provides more traction and stability that'll make you feel more confident squaring off the turns and diving for the inside lines. If you value style at speed or want to have fun feeling fast, then mixed wheels (29" up front, 27.5" out back) show that the spectrum is a loop, not opposite points on a scale. The 150mm-travel bike can go deep on any landing and the VPP suspension design makes sure that there's no wasted energy when heading back up for another go. Our demo crew have a saying, 'If in doubt, take a Bronson out'. But what if you don't want to be pinned down by labels? What if you want to just be a mountain biker in the broadest sense of the word? What if you want to choose how you ride rather than what to ride? If this sounds familiar, then try a Bronson. You know what's hard about choosing what model of Santa Cruz suits you? It's having to narrow down what kind of riding you want to do. Every detail, from the derailleur hangers to the fork expander plug have been designed with style, weight, and durability in mind-everything in pursuit for the perfect ride.
Just a few pedal strokes and you’ll realize this sublime ride sets a new standard. By studying the flexing and breathing of carbon fiber, we were able to discover groundbreaking findings about how forces flow through frames. A featherweight frame is useless without confidence-inspiring ride characteristics, which is why we’ve developed the Aethos to have the perfect balance of front and rear stiffness combined with exceptional ride quality. The Aethos is more than just a new bike, it’s the first of a new breed. Pair that with an entirely-new layup and process that we’ve perfected over multiple decades and you have the lightest frame out there (585 grams, S-Works, size 56cm).
But how, you ask? By reinventing the traditional road shape found on bikes of the past, we’ve subtly altered these shapes to deliver massive gains in stiffness and balance, all without affecting weight or durability. The Aethos frame has been designed with the perfect combination of ultimate ride feel, light weight, and style-from accelerating up steep pitches and descending technical descents, to all-day saddle comfort on even the longest coffee rides, the Aethos hits the mark. Aethos: Billions of calculations in the pursuit of one thing-the perfect ride. Sure, it’s given nothing up to performance, and happens to be the lightest frame out there, but with no compromise to style. But sometimes riding simply to ride, riding for the love of riding, is just what we need.
