SUSPENSION
The Bronson’s looks have changed radically. It wasn’t to satisfy the ego of a designer or stand out, but rather moving the location of the lower link and the shock down low and forward was paramount in lowering the anti-squat for a wild bike like the Bronson.
MILLIMETERS MATTER
Moving any of the VPP™ pivots a couple millimeters in any direction makes wild adjustments to the ride quality. The lower VPP™ link is placed low and forward to optimize anti-squat. The result is a plush, open feel with a lot of traction.
TRAITS OF THE BRONSON
• Minimal kickback on square-edge hits • Remains active while pedaling up and across rough, technical terrain • More sensitivity. The suspension is quite plush off the top, with fluttery small bump performance • Leverage rate provides predictable, consistent, progressive support
HARDWARE
The pivots and links are great at maintaining a consistent ride for many years. It’s all very tough, reliable and easy to work on. Plus, owners get a lifetime of replacement pivot bearings.
