Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.

Superlight™ Suspension – Cross-country racing isn't a power lap around the park anymore. The courses are challenging and the competition fierce. Superlight™ provides traction to avoid the wobblers but keeps overall weight down. By reducing the amount of moving parts, bearings and linkages, Santa Cruz save up to 289g over previous models.
