Santa Cruz 5010 5 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike 2024

The Santa Cruz 5010 5 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike only sees the bright side. Of everything. A court jester of the bike world, the 5010 knows how to milk every last drop of merriment out of a ride, even if it’s one of those too-long and too-hot epics that have you returning in a daze, shivering, as night falls. This build features the amazing SRAM GX Eagle Transmission wireless drivetrain and new Code Bronze Stealth brakes, components that were designed together to provide the best trail experience possible. The 5010 may have a bigger front wheel now, but don’t fear: it’s still a ripping funbike. All hail the 5010, the ziggiest, zaggiest mountain bike ever created!

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!

  Frame Material

  Carbon

  Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.
