Santa Cruz 5010 5 C S evo Exclusive Complete Mountain Bike 2024

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

The RockShox Pike was built for the age of trail riding. A multidimensional fork that's light on ounces, heavily capable, and sweet on stiffness and travel. Pike is here to take you peak to peak and trailhead to tailgate drinks—for those days when the lines are blurred between bombing trails and cross-country hauls.

Dreaming of steep climbs, views from the top, and charging bold, technical descents? The mountains are calling and Super Deluxe Select+ is the answer. Loaded with podium-proven technology designed to elevate the hardest-hitting all-mountain bikes to new heights. From the all-new DebonAir+ air spring with tunable positive and negative air chambers to the optional Hydraulic Bottom Out to cushion the blow on heavy impact hits, the only tough decision is which trail to hit today.

With intuitive thumb actuated triggers, the GX Eagle shifter's positive feel gives the rider input to make shifts crisp and discernible every time. Its legendary reliability continues for all-day epics and all-time experiences, with an aluminum trigger ready for inevitable punishment and MatchMaker X compatibility.

The GX Eagle derailleur gets it done with an updated cage architecture that improves chain management. Refined to work with the new 10-52t cassettes, it’s also backwards compatible for the 10-50t versions.

Some riders test their limits more than others. For these riders, the GX Eagle DUB crankset allows them to go all in, every day they ride. The best aluminum crankset we make, engineered to deliver consistent performance every ride. Featuring our X-SYNC 2 tooth profile chainring for complete chain control. Each tooth's thickness is toleranced and controlled to work seamlessly with the chain's inner and outer links. DUB technology’s spindle design and bottom bracket provides a uniform approach to fitment, better sealing and forward and backward compatibility. Simply put, the forged aluminum GX Eagle DUB crankset is the no frills choice of riders who know.

FEATURES

• SRAM's best aluminum crankset.
• Direct mount interface compatible with chainrings across the entire Eagle Ecosystem.

Featuring FULL PIN technology that uses lightweight, precision engineered steel cogs permanently connected with high-strength stainless steel pins. An open design similar to our X-DOME cassette that aids in mud clearance, giving riders crisp shifting performance and longer component life.

The GX Eagle chain is designed with SRAM's Eagle geometry, the GX Eagle chain features solid pin construction, Eagle PowerLock and smooth, efficient shifting that you can count on every time out.

FEATURES

• All-new Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity.
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.

The core of brake performance is consistency. Reliability. Trust. And with G2 R, SRAM focused on offering a premium value without compromising the heart of the operation.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.

• 3C MaxxGrip: The stickiest, slowest rebounding rubber Maxxis offers.
• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Tubeless tires allow riders to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and less chance of flatting.
