V10 7 MY23
2023 - 2023
Puzzling Ain’t Easy
The V10 is designed for anyone who steps up to the startline with eyes on a podium. The racer who chooses a V10 is the recipient of every bit of work and puzzling that’s gone into the Santa Cruz Syndicate’s race bikes. The continuous fine-tuning that the V10 has undergone World Cup season after season has guaranteed regular, high-level feedback. The result is perhaps the best suspension performance available outside of a World Cup team truck. 215mm of VPP™ travel is exquisitely refined and the ease of tuning and serviceability of the VPP system makes it a hit in the pits with mechanics and privateers. The most successful bike in downhill history shows no signs of slowing down.
