Frame/Shock:
130mm 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.
Fox Float Performance DPS: Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
Shock Adjustments: Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes / Rebound Adjust / Air Spring Pressure
Frame Update 3.0: The Furtado sees a longer reach, slightly slacker head angle and steeper seat angle for a more optimized ride.
27.5 / 27.5+ Wheel Clearance: Clearance for up to 2.8-inch tires.
Fork:
RockShox Recon RL: The RockShox Recon sets a new benchmark for value-based performance. Recon represents a perfect partnership between 32mm Revelation’s crowns and lower legs, and bombproof RockShox steel Fast Black upper tubes. Adopting this proven chassis allows for shorter upper tubes, which means Recon just went on a serious weight-loss program. With the addition of its now-standard Motion Control™ damper, the re-invented Recon is the new silver standard for fun.
Fork Adjustments: External Rebound, Low Speed Compression Adjustment to Lockout, Air Spring Pressure

Brakes:
SRAM Level Brakeset: The SRAM Level brake levels the playing field with power and reliability stuffed into a lightweight package. This is no-nonsense performer, but don’t let its understated disposition fool you — Level gives you the art of braking in minimalist form.
Wheelset:
WTB ST i35 TCS 2.0 Rims Laced to SRAM MTH Hubs: At 35mm internal width, these aluminum rims pair perfectly with plus-size tires, giving great grip and feel. The hubs are solid performers too, adding up to a capable and durable package designed for the long haul.
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire: The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Rekon Rear Tire: The Rekon is an aggressive trail tire inspired by the Ikon for intermediate and technical terrain. Wide knobs down the middle provide control under braking and L-shaped side knobs assure support when carving loose turns. With confidence like this you can race more and scout less with the Rekon.
