Santa Cruz 5010 5 C GX AXS evo Exclusive Complete Mountain Bike 2024

The Santa Cruz 5010 5 C GX AXS evo Exclusive Complete Mountain Bike transforms ordinary trails into playgrounds with its nimble chassis and mullet wheel setup that pairs a traction-hunting 29″ front wheel with a quick-turning 27.5″ rear. Equipped with SRAM’s GX Eagle AXS wireless drivetrain, upgraded G2 RS brakes, and an Industry Nine wheelset, this carbon trail wizard delivers supernatural responsiveness and refined suspension performance in a package that begs to pop off every feature. Not just “the little bike” in Santa Cruz’s lineup—it’s the bike that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked secret trail superpowers.

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!

  Used For

  Trail

  Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

  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.
