Frame/Shock:
130mm VPP® Suspension: VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines.
Fox Float Performance DPS: For a lightweight, inline shock, the DPS packs a lot of performance. The Dual Piston Base Valve has dedicated compression and rebound pistons, providing a firm lockout without compromising bump compliance, ride control, or efficiency. Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
Shock Adjustments: Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes / Rebound Adjust / Air Spring Pressure
27.5 / 27.5+ Wheel Clearance: Clearance for up to 2.8-inch tires.
Bottle Cage Mount: Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.

Fork:
RockShox Recon RL: The RockShox Recon sets a new benchmark for value-based performance. Recon represents a perfect partnership between 32mm Revelation’s crowns and lower legs, and bombproof RockShox steel Fast Black upper tubes. Adopting this proven chassis allows for shorter upper tubes, which means Recon just went on a serious weight-loss program. With the addition of its now-standard Motion Control™ damper, the re-invented Recon is the new silver standard for fun.
Fork Adjustments: External Rebound, Low Speed Compression to Lockout, Air Spring Pressure
Drive Train:
SRAM SX Eagle™: The new SX Eagle™ drivetrain keeps the promise of a simple shift. SX Eagle™ means easy, intuitive shifting every time for every rider.
Brakes:
SRAM Level Brakeset: The SRAM Level brake levels the playing field with power and reliability stuffed into a lightweight package. This is no-nonsense performer, but don’t let its understated disposition fool you — Level gives you the art of braking in minimalist form.
Avid CenterLine Rotors: The new CenterLine Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.
Wheelset:
WTB ST i35 TCS 2.0 Rims Laced to SRAM MTH Hubs: Wide and proud of it, these wheels boast a 35mm internal width, making them a solid foundation for wide trail tires. The stability and grip offered by the increased contact patch is amazing, and they provide this confidence without being cumbersome.
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire: The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Rekon Rear Tire: The Rekon is an aggressive trail tire inspired by the Ikon for intermediate and technical terrain. Wide knobs down the middle provide control under braking and L-shaped side knobs assure support when carving loose turns. With confidence like this you can race more and scout less with the Rekon.
