With the addition of the MX wheelset (29" in the front, 27.5" in the back) the Santa Cruz 5010 has an edge when on technical climbs and descents. Boasting an advanced 29-inch wheel at the front and improved suspension, the 5010 is equipped with an unanticipated level of capability on the trails that will make you want to hop, wheelie, and fan out over even the smallest bumps and roots.
The 5010 has an eagerness for trickery, like bonus lines and trailside jibs, and pairs nicely with the slacked-out geometry and lower-link VPP® suspension for a perfect blend of versatility, allowing for both huge airs and the capacity to take on all-day sufferfests. The steeper seat tube angle provides extra efficiency to ensure that no ride is left unfinished.
