The Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 5 C R Complete Mountain Bike could be the smartest impulse buy you'll ever make. Not only does it rip on every type of ride, but this R-level build continues the almost reasonable madness with proven, simple, and dependable parts. This latest 5010 has all of Santa Cruz's big bike bonus features, from mixed wheel sizing and the redesigned VPP® suspension that seems to speed up through rough stuff to size-specific rear triangles and the cavernous Glovebox™ in-frame storage. Let the rest of the crew hem and haw over which bike to choose this weekend: the 5010 is always the tool for the most fun on trail!
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Travel – 140mm Front / 130mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
