FIRST LOOK: Santa Cruz 5010 C
The Santa Crux 5010 C is a very capable trail bike off the shelf. In fact, it's awesome! Could this be the ultimate trail bike?
Go take a look at the Santa Cruz website. Their line up of bikes is pretty dialled. From cyclocross through to downhill, they have a bike for pretty any dirt riding scenario. But to us, the 5010 stands out. It’s no cross-country race whip, nor is it a rack garden swallowing downhill weapon. But most riders aren’t those things either. What it is, is a brilliant trail bike.
I picked up a 5010 C from Santa Cruz dealer Summit Cycles last week, to start a long term review on it. Coming from a premium shop, the bike build was dialled, so I headed straight off to start the testing process.
You’ll see our first thoughts in Issue 148, which is on sale June 6th. We’ll be playing with this one for a while, so check back here for more updates.
