Bronson C Eagle 90 Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I love the blend of sensitivity and support in the Bronson C MX 90. The FOX Performance suspension keeps me composed on fast, loose descents, and I trust the DT Swiss 370 hub engagement when things get rowdy. SRAM's T-Type GX drivetrain adds next-gen feel at a price point that hits the sweet spot."

A true trail multitool, the Bronson C MX 90 gives aggressive riders a confidence-boosting ride feel thanks to its 150mm rear and 160mm front travel setup built on Santa Cruz’s proven VPP™ platform. Designed with an MX wheel configuration—29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear—it tracks predictably through steep chutes while letting you throw the back end around in tighter terrain.

This build elevates its trail capability with FOX’s 36 Float Performance fork and Float X Performance rear shock for superior adjustability and big-hit absorption. SRAM’s 90 Eagle T-Type drivetrain delivers trail-tested dependability, while the GX Flattop chain ensures secure shifting. The 10–52t cassette range keeps steep climbs manageable, while the 32t chainring adds trail-ready torque. Braking is handled by SRAM’s new Maven Base calipers paired with HS2 rotors (200mm front, 180mm rear) for powerful, consistent stops.

DT Swiss 370 hubs laced to Reserve 30|TR AL alloy rims bring lightweight strength and reliability to the wheelset, topped off with Maxxis EXO+ rubber for optimal grip and flat resistance. A OneUp dropper and alloy cockpit round out this build, making it equally at home on enduro lines, long alpine rides, and rowdy park laps alike.

Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
