Santa Cruz 5010 XX1 Carbon CC (2018)

Let the trail be your guide on the 5010 Carbon CC from Santa Cruz. The 5010 is built for all-day backcountry adventures with 130mm of VPP travel, a short rear-end, and low bottom bracket that come together to create a playful trail bike that isn't afraid to traverse the unknown. The 67-degree head angle and longer front-center offer precise steering control on fast descents, and a lower bottom bracket height lets you climb and change course with mountain goat agility. The XX1 build features pinnacle components from SRAM, including a 1 x 12-speed Eagle drivetrain for the ultimate in mountain bike simplicity. A Fox Float Factory Kashima shock and Fox 34 Float Factory fork enable confidence when ripping through tight, rocky singletrack. For the 5010 CC, Santa Cruz used a slightly more expensive carbon fiber to reduce frame weight by half a pound, and with the optioned Santa Cruz carbon wheelset you're looking at a truly featherweight mountain bike experience.
