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

Santa Cruz 5010 CC Words by Drew Rohde | Photos by Nic Hall / Drew Rohde Over the last few months we’ve had three different riders put miles on our purple 2019 Santa Cruz 5010 CC. This snappy trail bike sees several revisions in its latest incarnation, V3,

The Santa Cruz 5010 is the cult offering in Santa Cruz’s range. The 5010 remains a fun-focussed 130mm travel bike designed solely for 27.5in wheels.
Great fun to ride, very low weight and amazing build kit.
It's a Santa Cruz, so don't expect it come cheap
