X-Small – Perfect for Younger MTB Riders or Budding Racers

Not often considered, but with a limited range available for the younger fanatic it makes great sense to advance to a full size MTB that little bit earlier.

With a frame size suited to those 4ft 8″ to 5ft 1″ (142-155cm) it is ideal for the larger child or teen; giving them a future proof ride, the same standard of components as adults and the peace of mind from a top line bike.

The Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon GX AXS is a true all-rounder, designed for riders who want versatility, fun, and top-notch performance without being limited by labels. With its mixed-wheel configuration, 150mm of VPP rear suspension, and premium components, the Bronson is ready to tackle everything from steep climbs to big descents, all with style and confidence.
