Consider
Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon CC frame the foundation for a nimble and responsive
dream ride. Equally capable of taking on all-day epic rides and squeezing out
seconds on your favorite sections of trail, the 5010 is all about showcasing
its rider's strengths, so it's only fitting that you'd want to build it in a
fashion that displays your personality as well.
The 5010’s subtle
inclination towards a wilder style of riding befits its lineage. It’s a direct
descendent of the Blur 4X, a groundbreaking machine that was essentially a dual
slalom bike that could happily be pedaled on day-long rides. The family
resemblance is crystal clear, as the 5010’s combination of comfortable cockpit
position and slalom-inspired cornering make it a truly rewarding ride for
riders of nearly any skill level.
With 5in of VPP
suspension, the 5010 has enough suspension on tap to make the most of technical
trails, without dulling the ability for the rider to push it to the edge. As
with all VPP bikes, the 5010’s counter-rotating links are carefully arranged to
resist activation by pedaling forces, all but eliminating unwanted bobbing
under power. This being the latest iteration of VPP, it’s tuned to provide more
midstroke support than previous generations of the VPP platform, giving the rider
a better feel for the terrain, and a livelier ride feel.
Of course, the poised
cornering and playful attitude that have come to define the 5010 are largely
due to its highly refined geometry. The 67-degree head angle remains stable at
speed, while still being quick to initiate a change of direction. At 16.7
inches, the 5010 has shorter chainstays than any of Santa Cruz’s other trail
bikes, which further enhances its willingness to rail berms and dive into off
camber corners. At 13.1 inches, its bottom bracket is just high enough to avoid
excessive pedal strikes, while remaining settled in situations where aggressive
lean angles are required. It’s a setup that forgoes the longer-is-better line
of thinking in favor of a machine that’s quick and responsive. And that
handling has made it a favorite both of dedicated trail riders, and Santa Cruz
pros pushing the physical limits.
The 5010 is built using
Santa Cruz’s top tier CC carbon fiber construction. By using some of the
finest, and strongest, raw materials available, Santa Cruz is able to make its
CC level frames extremely lightweight, while maintaining outstanding impact
resistance, exceptional stiffness, and just the right amount of finely tuned
flex to cancel out trail chatter. Of course, balancing these factors requires
true mastery of carbon fiber, and the design team at Santa Cruz has proven time
and time again that their command of carbon fiber construction is unsurpassed
in the bike industry. The result is a frame that will hold up to years of hard
riding, will provide a comfortable ride, and will do so at a very competitive
weight.
