Santa Cruz 5010 XTR Reserve 27.5+ Carbon CC - 2019

The 5010 rolls into the 2019 model year with some fresh updates. Yes, this bike still has 130mm of Virtual Pivot Point (VPP) travel and uses 27.5-inch wheels. Key tweaks for 2019 include slacker geometry and the ability to use 27.5+ wheels with clearance for up to 2.8-inch tires. A flip-chip alters the geometry slightly to compensate for different wheel sizes. The Carbon CC is Santa Cruz’ best carbon fiber. The CC is every bit as strong and stiff as the Carbon C frames, but saves approximately a half pound. Top-of-the-line Santa Cruz Reserve rims feature a fantastic 37mm diameter to create an excellent footprint for 2.6-inch Maxxis tires. These rims are laced to high-end and lightweight DT 240 hubs that offer great engagement at a impressive weight. Fox Factory suspension smooths the ride. The all-new Shimano XTR 1x12 drivetrain has a 51-tooth climbing gear. XTR brakes offer unbelievable power at an impressive weight. The CC XTR Reserve is a traction-loving bike with top-of-the-line Shimano parts.
