Santa Cruz 5010 C S - 2016

Santa Cruz's 5010 C roams the trails with mountain goat agility and bear-like strength. It features VPP suspension providing 135mm of cush to tackle the steeps, the drops, the bumps, and the backcountry. A low bottom bracket and short chainstays translate into a snappy ride, while the lightweight, strong carbon construction makes the 5010 more than just a bike: it's a well crafted, trail-slaying tool. SRAM's GX 1 x 11-speed drivetrain clicks through the gears with aplomb, sprinting over rocks, roots, and rubble. Easton rims, grippy, tubeless Maxxis rubber, and the included Stan's NoTubes sealant will get you rolling out the garage in search of dirt straight away. Throw in a 148mm rear axle and angular contact bearings for lateral stiffness, and you'll be howling through the corners. It's topped off with ISCG-05 tabs and a Reverb Stealth dropper post.
