Santa Cruz V10 8 CC DH X01 Complete Mountain Bike 2027

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.

For bike park days and shuttle laps, there’s nothing like a downhill (DH) bike. Designed to tackle the roughest trails at high speeds, these bikes have long suspension travel (typically 170mm+), huge brakes, and unreal descending capabilities. DH bikes are not as suitable for tight trails or climbing.

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 Fox 40 is the definitive DH race fork, target locked on the top step of the podium and developed in the crucible of World Cup competition.

“Factory” says it all – feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Fox's Factory-level riders. What they sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.

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.

Harnessing SRAM’s 1x™ X-ACTUATION™ technology, the X01® DH trigger shifter delivers precise and dependable 7-speed performance. With ZERO LOSS™, the cable engages instantly so you shift faster. And with multi-adjustable triggers, you shift from whatever position fits perfectly with the way your ride. The shifter’s aluminum cover and adjustable forged aluminum pull lever bring the strength and durability you need to conquer the toughest terrain.

Engineered to maintain consistent chain gap across all seven gears, X-HORIZON™ delivers faster shifting and reduced shift force while eliminating vertical movement and ghost shifting. And with the Type-3 ROLLER BEARING CLUTCH™, you get the very best in chain management. It's quiet, consistent and long-lasting - a purpose-built workhorse for the parks and tracks.

 

The X01 DH crankset with X-SYNC technology is engineered for ultimate DH performance in the most aggressive terrain. The carbon crank combines stiffness and strength with lightest-in-class weight of under 800 grams. Proven in World Cup and World Championship racing, it’s the crankset made for relentless downhill rides.

FEATURES

• Carbon DH racing crank
• CNC machined 7075, two-tone anodized X-SYNC™ chainring, 94 BCD —an integral component of the SRAM 1x™ drivetrain
• X-SYNC™ technology compatible with SRAM 1x™ 7- and 10-speed DH drivetrains
• X-SYNC™ tall, square tooth design provides maximum chain control
• Sharp, narrow tooth profile and rounded chamfer edges help manage a deflected chain
• Mud-clearing recesses for the inner chain links and rollers
• Lightest in class carbon construction
• High strength alloy pedal lug

The SRAM PC-1170 chain features more heavily chamfered outer plates for improved shifting and quieter running. The chrome hardened pin construction provides longer chain life.

FEATURES

• 11-speed compatibility
• PowerLock® Technology

SRAM Maven Silver features monstrous 18 and 19.5mm pistons driving 50% more power than Code. But best-in-class power means nothing unless you’re able to harness it. The Maven Silver lever body houses Swinglink, which translates rider input for progressive power throughout the lever pull, maintaining SRAM’s signature ride feel. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. Maven Silver features a bold black anodized finish with stainless hardware. And for unrivaled ease of customization, features tool-free Reach and Contact Point Adjust.

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.
• DH: Downhill casing tires are designed for extreme use in all gravity applications from downhill racing to bike park riding to free riding to long travel e-bikes. Made with two layers of durable 60 TPI casing material along with a large butyl rubber insert that extends from each bead into the sidewall. The butyl insert helps prevent pinch flats, protects the rim from impacts, and provides additional sidewall stability.
