The Ultimate Trail Experience
The 5010, Santa Cruz's unparalleled trail bike, redefines the riding experience. It transforms mundane trails into exciting features, offering riders super-skills at their fingertips. The 5010, often underestimated in its capabilities, now boasts a 29-inch wheel upfront for enhanced traction, coupled with refined suspension for a deft touch on the trails.
Key Features:
Trail Mastery with Mixed Wheels
The mixed wheel configuration, featuring a 29-inch front wheel for traction and stability, paired with a 27.5" rear wheel allowing quick back wheel steering and lifting, elevates the 5010's trail prowess.
Smart Storage with Glovebox
Securely store ride essentials beneath a high-quality latch and panel in the 5010's downtube. The Glovebox includes a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, ensuring tools are always within reach.
Cutting-Edge Full Carbon CC Frame
Crafted with the finest materials and production processes, CC frames are tailored for optimal stiffness in every size. The 5010 ensures consistent ride quality for riders of all sizes, addressing greater stresses on larger frames.
Innovative Sag Window
The inclusion of a sag window facilitates easier suspension sag and setup. Details such as a mud flap to protect the rear shock, tidy cable routing, and rubberized DT protectors showcase the meticulous design.
Built to Last
Santa Cruz's legendary fit, finish, and quality construction set the 5010 apart. The frame, bearings, and optional Reserve wheels are backed by a lifetime warranty, and easy serviceability is assured through the Rider Support pledge.
Optimized VPP™ Suspension
The VPP™ suspension system is fine-tuned for the perfect balance between pedaling efficiency and bump-chomping prowess, ensuring optimal performance for its designed purpose.
130mm VPP™ Travel
With 130mm of VPP™ travel, the 5010 strikes the right balance between short travel and all the travel needed for an exhilarating ride. While not designed for the biggest rock gardens, it delivers a V10-like performance for freestyling miles.
Traction and Big Hits
The 5010 achieves a balance of support and grip, maximizing its descending and big-hitting capability. Less anti-squat provides sensitive, ground-tracking qualities and reduced pedal kick for an impressive ride.
Support and Playfulness
Featuring a straight, highly progressive leverage curve, the 5010 offers predictable support, bottom-out resistance, and playful response. The accessible travel and reduced impact jarring make it a standout in the realm of short-travel bikes.
