Santa Cruz V5 Bronson (2025-current)

Want your Bronson to absolutely devour chunk and resist bottom outs smoothly? This upper/lower link combo for the V5 Bronson will do just that. With long travel and short travel settings that place it at 160 mm or 150 mm respectively, you can tailor the suspension to the terrain you're riding. Both settings deliver an increase in progression as well. Want better small bump and increased pop? Slap it in the short travel setting and you're set. Want to match the fork's travel and really get after the tech? Go with the long travel setting and let it rip. Additionally, if you have the desire to play around with shock stroke, travel can be increased all the way up to a max of 175 mm with a 230x65.
