For This Bike
Dec 2020 · Jeremy Benson
The Santa Cruz 5010 CC XO1 RSV is a well-rounded mid-travel trail bike with a fun-loving attitude. Built around "fun-sized" 27.5-inch wheels and 130mm of...
Excellent build
Snappy and playful
Feels like it has more travel than it does
Expensive
Not the best small bump compliance
Flip-chip is hard to access

The mid-travel, mid-sized wheel 5010 has always been the rowdy rider's bike in the Santa Cruz range. We test the brand-new fourth-generation bike to see if some big changes have altered its chaos-loving character
Exceptional shock control for a 130mm bike
More stable, but still dynamically agile
Super accurate but damped frame and wheel feel
Excellent pedalling kick without excess feedback
Steep seat angle for rock crawler climbs
Lifetime frame and wheel warranty
Fully loaded with practical ‘easy, extended life’ features
Maximum control build kits
New Extended Eagle gearing
‘C’ bikes are relatively good value
Not as naturally fast or stable as a 29er (but more fun)
Grippy tyres
Pick up lag on the hub
Geometry chip is awkward to adjust
High quality equals high price
CC frame isn’t much lighter than C

The new Santa Cruz 5010 arrives with a lower-link driven shock, proportional sizing and the aim of letting you get creative with your surroundings.
Cool. Calm. Collected. Proportional sizing.
Sticky front tyre. Maybe a bit too composed.

The new 5010 shares the lower-link shock design introduced over the past three seasons in the company’s enduro and trail bikes, and key geometry updates to keep it current with the competition. - Mtbr.com

Pound for pound, the Santa Cruz 5010 is one of the best trail bikes we’ve ever ridden

The redesigned Santa Cruz 5010 ticks all the trail-bike boxes, and comes in an increasingly rare alloy option.
