The Santa Cruz 5010 turns tricky obstacles into fun features, making new trails feel as easy to ride as your most familiar routes. Get creative with your surroundings and have a whole lot more fun.
27.5 inch wheels make every ride fun. Smaller wheels provides the balance between a fast roll and a quick and nimble feel whether you're launching off a jump or winding through technical single track. The slack head angle provides predictability in steering, while a relatively low BB paired with short chainstays turns on a penny and makes the bike easy to throw around the trail.
The 140mm travel RockShox Pike fork is paired with a 130mm Super Deluxe Select+ shock at the rear end, with lower link VPP suspension making you feel like you've got far more travel beneath you. With size dependent chainstay lengths and a low standover height, the geometry of the bike is tailored specifically to each individual size.
Santa Cruz Reserve 30 carbon rims with Maxxis Minion DHR II tyres are tubeless ready so you can quickly and easily convert your wheels to allow you to run lower pressures for even more grip on the trail, as well as reducing your chances of a flat ruining your ride. These carbon fibre rims are not only super light, they're also practically indestructible, coming with a lifetime warranty as standard.
The Shimano XT 12 speed drivetrain provides slick and smooth shifting over a massive range of gears, so no matter how steep the climb you can always pedal to the top ready to shred back down your favourite run. Shimano XT M8120 hydraulic disc brakes provide superb stopping power and great modulation in all weathers and all riding conditions so you can always scrub off speed when things get too rowdy.
When you need an extra hand at nailing a tricky drop off or steep descent, the RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper lets you get your weight back and send it with speed and control. The balance and poise of the 5010 has the ability to turn any tentative newbie into a fully-fledged flyer on the trails. So spread your wings and hop aboard the new 5010 for guaranteed fun and riding skill progression, all aboard a riding machine with lifetime frame warranty.
