Bronson Review | Flow Mountain Bike • The crew at @flow_mtb got their hands on the New Bronson and had a lot to say about it. And by “a lot” we mean some 4,000 words or so, in their very detailed review up on flowmountainbike.com now. If that’s too much reading for you, there’s also an 8 minute video review component. “The 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson lives up to its reputation as an all-rounder. Recent improvements in descending performance have significantly enhanced its overall capabilities. While it retains its climbing prowess, the new setup provides even greater confidence on rugged descents… As a mixed-wheel trail bike, the Bronson ranks among the best on the market and is definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a versatile bike that can handle a variety of terrain.” • Check out the full review page at the link 🔗 in bio! 📷 @flow_mtb

Santa Cruz Skitch - The Ultimate Traffic-Slipping, Rat-Race Escaping, Teleportation Device. • This is not your typical ebike commuter. The powerful and lightweight motor is stealthily packaged into a sleek carbon frame that feels more ‘Rally’ and less ‘SUV’ The pedal-assist gives you a nudge to spend less time behind a glass windscreen, and more time with your knees in the breeze. You’ll actively find yourself looking for excuses to get on your bike, because even a city commute, a burrito run, or a quick strike to your local gravel can be as much fun as weekend bike park laps. The Skitch is guaranteed to improve your well-being. More miles. More smiles. • Find out more at the Skitch link in bio👆 📷 @vernor ✌️ @ksmitty54

Bike Check: Joel Smith’s Santa Cruz Skitch • When we were developing our Skitch lightweight ebike, our engineering and product management teams deployed a fleet of pre-production versions to be ridden until the wheels fall off, for long-term testing, and to iron out any issues in the final design. One of these bikes went to @reservewheels brand leader, Joel Smith, and he has been finessing the sleek and stealthy pre-production version you see here into what he feels is the perfect commuting machine. Joel claims he’s not finished tweaking it yet, but we think it’s perfect, as is. - Frame: Santa Cruz Skitch - Size: XL - Color: Bare Carbon - Fork: @canecreekusa Invert CS 40mm travel - Drive: @fazua Ride 60 - Headset: Cane Creek 40 - Cranks: @praxisworks 175mm, 44 - Cassette: @shimanomtb XT 10-45 - Derailleur: @shimanomtb XT 12 Speed - Brakes: @shimanomtb XT Flat Mount - Saddle: @brooksengland C15 Carved - Seat Post: @zippspeed Carbon 27.2 - Pedals: @oneupcomponents Composite - Front Wheel: Reserve 40, 100X12 - Rear Wheel: Reserve 63, 148X12 - Tires: @panaracer_world Gravel King 700X45c Gumwall - Grips: @santacruzbicycles Thick Gumwall

Pinkbike Field Test: 2025 Santa Cruz Bronson - It’s Not Really a Trail Bike • “I know we’re calling this the Trail Bike Field Test, but realistically, the Bronson is an all-mountain bike. Out of all eight bikes we tested in this Field Test it feels the most gravity-oriented of the bunch…. Who’s the Bronson for? It’s for the rider that enjoys rowdy descents, but still wants a bike that can hold its own on big days of pedaling.“ - Pinkbike Despite the slightly ambiguous headline, this is a really good review of our new Bronson. And in our defense, we never really claimed the Bronson to be a traditional Trail Bike by the vague intended use categorization terms we - The Bike Industry - have pigeonholed ourselves into. But we do think you can use the Bronson as your all-around Trail Bike and still have something left in the tank for when you head into bigger, chunkier, steeper & more technical terrain 👍 Check out the full Bronson review at the @pinkbike link in bio! 🔗 • 📷 @pinkbike
