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 the 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.

Lower-Link Mounted 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. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

Fox DHX2 Factory Coil Rear Shock – Nothing sticks to the ground quite like a coil shock. The DHX2 takes that sensation and buttresses it with sophisticated progressive damping, a massive overall tuning range, and super low-friction internals in order to capitalize on the full race-spec magic carpet experience.

Shock Adjustments – Coil spring preload / 2-position open/firm lever (retains high and low speed compression adjustments) / HSC / LSC / HSR / LSR

Proportional Chainstay Lengths – With rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.

Bottle Cage Mount – Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.

Integrated Flip Chip for High/Low Setting Adjustment

Threaded Bottom Bracket

Integrated Headset

Internal Brake and Dropper Cable Routing

ISCG-05 Tabs for Chainguide Compatibility

Molded Rubber Swingarm and Downtube Protection

Fox 38 Float Factory – With a stiffness-to-weight ratio never before seen in a single crown fork, this is the new fork of choice for big terrain. The Factory trim has all the latest technology, from bleeder valves and new leg channels on the lowers, to Kashima-coated stanchions, from an elliptical steerer to its floating axle. The highly tuneable GRIP2 damper and Factory internals are also second to none.

Fork Adjustments – Air Spring Pressure, High-Speed Compression and Rebound Adjust (8-Clicks), Low-Speed Compression and Rebound Adjust (16-Clicks)
