Santa Cruz V10 Mk5 – All Carbon
Today, Santa Cruz announced the new for 2013 carbon V-10…
With 64 World Cup podiums, 14 World Cup Wins and 3 World Championship Golds, the Santa Cruz V10c is so far ahead of the game it’s in danger of requiring a biological passport.
The all new, all carbon, V10c is now the lightest and strongest downhill bike in the World.
Honed from years of refinement through brutal testing by the Santa Cruz Syndicate, the V10c is now identical to the bikes Minnaar, Peaty and Bryceland race. Check out their video.
Proprietary carbon molding techniques deliver a sub 7 lb frame that’s nearly 2 lbs lighter than before, yet stronger than ever.
So much so, we’ve extended our warranty to 5 years, maintained the lifetime guarantee on bearings and still offer the crash replacement policy.
UK rrp £3399 w/ Fox DHX RC4 shock. £3469 w/ Vivid Air shock.
