Santa Cruz Bronson brake pad questions
Before you order.
Which brake pads fit a Santa Cruz Bronson?
The correct pad depends on the exact Bronson build and model year. Select the complete bike above and confirm the marking printed on the fitted caliper before ordering.
Do all Santa Cruz Bronson models use the same brake pads?
No. Santa Cruz specifications vary by build, year and market, and the front and rear brakes can also differ. Gorilla Brain keeps each source-confirmed build separate.
Why does the result open a collection rather than one product?
The verified collection contains the Gorilla Brakes compounds available for that pad shape, allowing you to choose the compound that suits your riding and conditions.
Can the front and rear of a Santa Cruz Bronson use different pads?
Yes. Some builds use different calipers or pad shapes at the front and rear, so check both mappings on the exact bike card.
What if the brakes on my Santa Cruz Bronson have been changed?
Use the bike listing as a starting point, then search for the name printed on the caliper actually fitted and order for that confirmed pad shape.
