Permalink 2013 Santa Cruz V-10 Goes Full Carbon
;)
The all new, all carbon, Santa Cruz 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.
Proprietary carbon molding techniques deliver a sub 7 lb frame that's nearly 2 lbs lighter than before, yet stronger than ever.
The Lightest and Strongest Production Downhill Race Frame in the World:
- 7.9lb all carbon frame w/ DHX RC4 coil rear shock
- 26 inch wheels
- 8.5- 10 inches of adjustable travel
- 157mm rear axle spacing - easier wheel installation.
- New molded rubber swingarm and downtube protectors.
- New integrated fork bumpers with cable guide.
- New carbon upper link - increased stiffness.
- Forged aluminum lower link with recessed grease ports.
- Collet axle pivots - lock in place without pinch bolts.
- Direct mount rear derailleur hanger.
- Full carbon dropouts and disk mounts.
- Co-molded aluminium hardware on upper pivot and bottom bracket - no bonding.
- Race tested by Syndicate throughout 2012

Pursuing Perfection Presented By Saint
The points start collecting from the very first beep of the season at round one. The pressure of their presence sits on riders’ shoulders all year. The ticking clock may stop after each run but the abacus never stops, it only pauses between races to coil the riders springs even tighter. Until eventually the chips are counted at the final round.
