So, we’ve hit that exciting time of year again when Santa Cruz reveal their new 2022 bike updates…
Following the announcements of the new Bronson and the Blur in June, little has been reported about the updates that have occurred amongst the rest of the Santa Cruz models last month, so we thought we’d provide a summary of the models that have been updated or received colour changes.
Santa Cruz Bronson - Trail/Enduro
‘If in doubt, take a Bronson out’
You are probably aware that the new Bronson V4 was released in June 2022. Santa Cruz decided to change things up for the new model and went for a mixed wheel mullet combination with 29 inches up front and 27.5 inches out back for the riders that value style at speed. The Bronson V4 also comes with 150mm travel and is compatible with air and coil rear shocks, along with tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm.

Along with an updated spec, the Bronson V4 is now available in two brand new colours for 2022, with the old Matt Olive Green and Gloss Red Tide being replaced with Paydirt Gold (grey logos) and Gloss Moss (blue logos).
We have Bronsons in both colours (S Spec and X01 Spec) in stock and ready for FREE shipping.
Santa Cruz Blur - XC/Endurance
‘A Fair Advantage’
Another big release for Santa Cruz in June this year is the new Blur. The all new Superlight pivot design helps to create the lightest full-suspension frame Santa Cruz has ever produced. It’s available in two travel options and comes with clean and tidy internal cable routing, along with a custom lightweight mini chain guide.

The frame colours have also been updated from Gloss Aqua and Carbon Black to Dark Matter and Sockeyesal (salmon).
We have a large S Spec Blur (Sockeye) in stock, with many more colours and specs due in over the next few months.
Santa Cruz Stigmata - Gravel
‘The road goes on forever and the party never ends’
The Stigmata model has also undergone some changes with updated build options and frame colours which include changes from Moonstone Blue and Midnight Green to the all-new Gloss Lavender and Gloss Brut.

Santa Cruz 5010 - Trail/Enduro
‘Get creative with your surroundings’
The 5010 has undergone a few component updates, but the main changes are the colours from Loosely Blue and Raspberry Sobert to Golden Yellow and Stormbringer Purple.

Santa Cruz Jackal - DJ/Park
‘The Jackal is an opportunistic scavenger of man-made terrain’
The Jackal frame colours have changed from Olive Green to Gloss Bacon and we are excited to announce that we have got eight frames arriving over the next few months. We have also got 8 x RockShox DJ forks arriving, so we can build up the bikes for you, or you can pair the frame and forks, then build yourself.

Over the coming months we are due to receive over 100 Santa Cruz bikes, so feel free to get in touch if there is something you’re after.
