Product Info
Update your life lists, birders, we've discovered a new species of hummingbird. Named the Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike, this carbon mixed wheeler shares tons of features with those tiny warriors of the sky: it is crazy quick, has a seemingly endless capacity for sugary snacks, and shifts speeds like it has an AXS wireless drivetrain. Which it does have. Because it's the latest 5010 from Santa Cruz, the rowdiest little bike in the land. But it's also definitely a hummingbird, because the way it zip zap zooms down the trail, picking impossible lines faster than human brain can comprehend--that's some hummer stuff. Swing your leg over this baby and watch your heartbeat rise by 1200bpm.
Product Details
Key Features
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!
Integrated Flip Chip for High/Low Geometry Setting
