Santa Cruz 5010 CC Mountain Bike Frame 2023

Santa Cruz 5010 CC Mountain Bike Frame 2023

The Santa Cruz 5010 CC Bike Frame is ideal for building up into a playful, capable trail bike with a dialled geometry. The frame is designed to fit a 27.5" rear wheel.

Constructed from top-level CC carbon, weight is kept low and stiffness high; every frame size is tailored to provide the same levels of stiffness. Lower-link-driven VPP suspension brings plush traction and efficiency, and a few refinements mean there's now less anti-squat to increase suspension sensitivity, while a straight, progressive leverage curve improves support and increases bottom-out resistance. Overall, the bike will be more capable when the hits get big. 

Downtube storage comes courtesy of a Glovebox, with an included Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, and a Sag Window makes for easy suspension tuning. There's also a mud flap that protects the rear shock and rubberised protectors on the downtube to prevent rock strike damage. 

Highlights

• Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon C frame with 130mm rear travel
• 130mm VPP™ suspension optimised to strike the right balance between pedalling efficiency and all-out bump-chomping prowess
• Reduced anti-squat noticeably improves suspension sensitivity
• Straight, highly progressive leverage curve gives the rider plenty of predictable support, bottom-out resistance, and a playful response. This means the travel is accessible and higher impacts aren’t as jarring as you’d expect from a short-travel bike
• Glovebox latch in downtube comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to hand
• Sag Window allows easier suspension sag and setup. The details are completed by a neat mud flap to protect the rear shock plus tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm, and rubberised DT protectors to shrug off strikes
• Designed for a 27.5" rear wheel
