Aluminum Alloy Frame – Santa Cruz continues to offer most of their models in aluminum because it delivers a rocker solid ride experience at a great price. All Santa Cruz VPP® aluminum bikes mirror the same geometry (and paint jobs) as their carbon siblings.

130 mm VPP® Suspension – Virtual Pivot Point (VPP®) is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. The beauty of VPP® suspension is that the short links allow Santa Cruz to create compact tidy suspension designs. Combine that with large diameter pivot axles running on angular contact bearings and you get the integrity, responsiveness and precision that Santa Cruz frames are famous for.

SRAM NX 1x11 X-HORIZON™ Rear Derailleur – Provides the same smooth, reliable shifting action as XX1—from the larger upper pulley offset to the 12-tooth X-SYNC™ pulley wheels.

The legendary center ridge still flies on hardpack, and the updated tread pattern provides better braking and cornering over a wide range of trail conditions. A great choice if you want to go fast everywhere.
