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.

If you want a mountain bike that excels in versatility and fun, the 2024 Santa Cruz Bronson R Kit is the perfect choice. Designed for riders who don’t want to be limited by labels or terrain, the Bronson’s mixed-wheel setup, premium carbon frame, and dependable components make it ready for everything from steep descents to technical climbs and playful trail riding.
