Product Details
Key Features
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.
Travel – 160mm Front / 150mm Rear
Wheel Size – Mixed Wheel (29" Front / 27.5" Rear)
Bosch Performance Line CX Drive Unit – The next generation Bosch Performance Line CX motor is quieter, lighter, and smaller than ever. More compact but no less powerful, it comes with a maximum torque of 85Nm. Choose between 4 standard modes and customize your ride in the Bosch Flow App.
Discreet Top Tube Display – The built-in display on the toptube allows for battery charge and mode to be displayed. The display can also be used to turn system on/off and toggle modes. More detail (% battery charge and range) can be found by using the app.
Tool Mount – Discreet mounting bolts underneath the top tube allows for clean, on-bike-storage of tools, tubes or an AirTag.
Independently Adjustable Geo and Progression Chips – The geo chip raises or lowers the bottom bracket 4mm, and adjusts the head tube angle by 0.3°. The progression chip changes the progression from 26-29%.

Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. Beyond its unique and stunning Dark Polar finish and electroless nickel plating for incredible resistance to corrosion and wear, its full X-Sync design literally means the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Its strength is further proven by its full approval for E-MTB use. It’s been built for a 55mm chainline for even more durability and precision thanks to milder chain angles throughout the full range, low to high. From its massive 520% gear range, the 52 tooth cog steps down with improved gear progression with 44 and 38 tooth cogs in the low end (compared to the Eagle drivetrain 10-52-tooth cassette). What else? It has a clearly marked Setup Cog, making install both simple and fool-proof.
