Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 Carbon C S Mountain Bike, Treading the line between efficient capable and downright fun the 5010 Carbon C S Mountain Bike is the mid-travel trail bike that just about anyone can get along with. We love it for its mixed-wheel design which provides the rollover capabilities of a 29in front wheel with the intuitive cornering and jumping characteristics of a 27. 5in rear wheel. 130mm of travel is driven by a lower-link VPP design with a tweaked anti-squat and shock tune that helps the bike produce a little bit more traction without sacrificing efficiency. One of our favorite features is the Glovebox in-frame storage solution that lets us keep the included Tool Wallet and Tube Purse right in the frame along with a spare layer or snack. The head tube angle sits at a balanced 64. 9-degrees (low position) which provides added stability to match modern trends without going over the top retaining the perfect amount of reactivity. This workhorse build begins with the Carbon C frame construction from Santa Cruz which is marginally heavier than its Carbon CC counterpart yet just as stiff and impressively lightweight. Another highlight is the AR Offset 30 alloy wheels from Race Face which are compliant to absorb trail chatter and are super durable. Grippy Minion DHR II tires from Maxxis hook up predictably in corners and are impressively lightweight thanks to the EXO casing. We characterize this build as a mid-tier option for a rider who is upgrading to their first carbon steed or for a seasoned pro who wants to add a bike to their quiver without breaking the bank. *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
