2026 Santa Cruz Bronson CC Custom Edition – “The Prestige Worldwide”
This isn’t just a bike. It’s a fever dream built in a garage where torque wrenches hum softly and someone’s definitely doing karate in the corner. It’s the bike Ron Burgundy would ride if San Diego had chairlifts. It’s the Bronson, but not just any Bronson, this one has been sprinkled with the kind of custom parts that make suspension engineers weep tears of joy and wallet appraisers quietly recalibrate their instruments. Be prepared to mop up after yourself when you've clicked through the photos.
Frame – Santa Cruz Bronson CC XL Kalimotxo + Cascade Link
Think of the Cascade Link as the Step Brothers drum solo scene: explosive, slightly unnecessary, but absolutely vital to the vibe. It drops the anti-squat just enough to make this thing claw uphill like a caffeinated raccoon, and descend like it’s chasing the Ghost of Ricky Bobby. Plush, planted, predictable, it’s VPP™ with a doctorate in chaos management.
The paint? Kalimotxo... even if you can pronounce it, you certainly can't describe it. Ridewrap keeps it breathtakingly indescribable for years to come.
Suspension – Fox 38 Factory + DHX2 Combo
If Thor’s hammer was made of Kashima, this would be it.
A Fox 38 Factory fork up front with 170mm of “I don’t negotiate with rocks” travel, paired with a DHX2 coil shock that says, “I do one thing, and it’s eat chatter for breakfast.”
The 550 SLS spring in all it's windy goodness, does the springy stuff.
Drivetrain – SRAM X0 T-Type AXS + Ochain R
Wireless shifting so crisp it could slice sashimi. Every click a small dopamine event.
The Ochain R sits quietly behind the scenes, removing pedal kickback like a butler clearing champagne flutes after a party. You don’t notice it, until you do, and then you’ll never go back.
Brakes & Rotors – SRAM Maven Silver + Trickstuff HD 203mm
Brakes so powerful they once stopped an argument mid-sentence.
The Trickstuff rotors are the finishing touch, German precision meeting existential braking. Squeeze and time slows down just enough to regret your life choices, then grin because you didn’t die.
Wheels – Reserve SL Front / HD Rear with DT 240s
Think of this like wearing a tuxedo jacket with board shorts: lighter up front, business in the back.
The SL keeps things nimble; the HD holds your dignity when the trail tries to remove it. DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs buzz quietly like a bee that’s seen some things. Strong, fast, unbothered.
Cockpit – OneUp Carbon V2 + Burgtec
The OneUp Carbon bar rises a sensible 50mm, because life’s too short for flat bars.
Burgtec stem at 42.5mm, short, stout, and ready to go full Anchorman when provoked.
You feel every berm whisper “You’re kind of a big deal.”
Finishing Kit
OneUp V3 210mm Dropper: Because the only thing better than going down is going further down.
Specialized Phenom Mirror Saddle: Feels like sitting on a marshmallow engineered by NASA.
Schwalbe Magic Mary (Ultrasoft) + Albert (Soft): The tyre equivalent of twin guard dogs, one rabid, one suspiciously smart.
Ex Demo
This one is Ste's bike... it's used but barely. Want to see how many miles it's done and Ste's average heart rate and power whilst riding it? check out the stats on stesimms.com
Whilst it might be ex-demo you will be the first registered owner of the frame and wheels and therefore have the full warranty that Santa Cruz provides. The rest of the parts, are purchased with the understanding that wear and tear items, and service intervals are been eaten into by a little riding.
Sounds boring but needs saying.. but in reality it's barely been ridden!
Summary
This Bronson CC Custom Edition is for the rider who giggles at the idea of “just one bike.” It’s for the person who brings an Ochain to a pump track, installs a Cascade Link for science, and then explains anti-squat at the pub like it’s foreplay.
You could call it overbuilt.
You could call it excessive.
Or you could call it what it truly is: the love child of precision engineering and midlife rebellion.
