The 2013 Santa Cruz V10

Saturday, October 19, 2013

The Santa Cruz V10 has an incredible pedigree – 64 World Cup podiums, 14 wins and two overall titles. It was also the first carbon fibre downhill bike to win a World Champs.


The back end now features 157mm spacing, for easier wheel installation. Against the current trend, cable routing has been left external, on the behest of the Santa Cruz Syndicate race mechanics. There’s also some tidy armouring, heal-protection padding and fork bumpers built into the frame. Santa Cruz feel strongly that you shouldn’t need to add or stick anything to such a good-looking, light bike.

The 2013 Santa Cruz V10c frame costs US$3,499 (£3,399) with a Fox DHX RC4 shock or $3,599 (£3,469) with a RockShox Vivid Air R2C. Travel can be switched between 8.5in and 10in.

The V10c will also be available as a complete bike. The standard DH1 build costs $7,994 (£6,999) with a RockShox Boxxer World Cup or $8,117 (£7,048) with a Fox 40 RC2.
