Carbon V10 with all the latest goodies - 33.5lbs

cool to see a cut-away of the frame.

correct me if I'm wrong, but there shouldn't there be a alu/metal insert for the headset cups?

FlipFantasia · Jun 21, 2010

and frameset price the same as the current alum version......

dropmachine · Jun 21, 2010

and THAT is why I dig Santa Cruz. Same price, improved tech.

Take note, other-overpriced-overhyped companies.

monkeyfcuker · Jun 21, 2010

So what's the story with Chub hubs, no real info out there. Quality or not?

looks like they have gone for a layer or 2 of fibreglass to insulate the frame from the headset

one could argue that the aluminum V10 was way overpriced...

Where are you guys getting the pricing on the new V 10?

captainspauldin · Jun 21, 2010

Looks great.. interesting to see the e13 cranks in the wild.. chub makes a 20mm hub already don't they? 31" cf bars, my inner e-speculator wants to say not a good idea, but I've gotten past the whole CF frame thing..

BTW I love the CF V10, price is about the only excuse left for me not to get one(yeah everyone else's excuse as well).

from facebook: "The Santa Cruz V-10 carbon is simply unbelievable. Frame only price, with RockShox Vivid Coil shock and Cane Creek's new Angleset will be $2999 - same as the current aluminum V-10. The frame is approximately pound lighter than the current aluminum V-10."

sikocycles · Jun 21, 2010

That looks so good.
It either a CF V10, Knolly Podium or a superco silencer for me next year

Most beautiful frame ever

so far

why choose? buy them all & do a shootout for us. that's a sick list to choose from (i'd still go for the ss just because).

KavuRider · Jun 21, 2010

I want that V10.
Friend of mine just ordered a Podium, I'm looking forward to "borrowing" it for a run or two...

UiUiUiUi · Jun 21, 2010

Yes they are.

acair422 · Jun 21, 2010

now i know this comment could easily get shot to hell and back...but will there ever be a point in dh when a bike is, dare i say, too light? just throwin it out there...

acair422 · Jun 21, 2010

no i hadn't seen that thread...part of me just thinks that is too light but then again i've never even rode a sub 40lb dh bike so what do i know....

Urinal Mint · Jun 21, 2010

Just saw that exact bike in Whistler yesterday...there was a whole crew of 'em on the carbon V10s. Sooooooo insanely beautiful. If there is a DH bike to have in the future, it's that one.

BikeFan84 · Jun 21, 2010

I love that someone is taking it to this level, but these bikes aren't made for everyone which is something that has to be realized. It however is built great for its intention, extra fast and light DH bike.

Intense FRO? Too light tubing ?

Point is these bikes are for people who want to get the most out of their races, and thus pay the price in durability think non park bike

Didn't the prices on other SC frames stay the same when they moved production from the US to Taiwan? I'm pretty sure a couple went up slightly in cost, seemed a bit rude to me.

Really light bikes are dumb. I don't like breaking parts.

You obviously didn't see the thread with the 29.76lb Session

I was hoping somebody would bring up that comparison.

Unlike the Trek, that V10 doesn't have anything stupid on it, and its not made paper thin. Its likely going to take more abuse then a Session would, if the marketing is even close to telling the truth about the strength.

they are offering a lifetime warranty on the frame

it also cost a few dollars more to get that way

I dont think durability will be an issue. As mentioned the warranty is life time and contrary to many peoples opinion, carbon can take the knocks.

Not sure I'd buy a second hand one though.........

Christiaan · Jun 22, 2010

Damn, this could make me switch to Santa Cruz from Intens,e beauty! and good price, if it will really cost 2999

fluider · Jun 22, 2010

I think that information "half-inch thick carbon walls" speaks very clearly.

motomike · Jun 22, 2010

So it seems the new v10 is actually less expensive than the aluminum one because it comes with the new Cane Creek angleset. SICK

monkeyfcuker · Jun 22, 2010

Lifetime warranty?? Sweet! Shame it's got the exact same compramise as every other single damn DH bike that's been released recently

That you have to choose between being able to eat and being able to buy this bike?

monkeyfcuker · Jun 22, 2010

Haha not quite!

It's that irritating piece of metal/plastic/carbon that hangs off the rear end! So many sexy ass dialled bikes being released at the minute but none of them have stepped far enough up and got rid of the rear mech, I'll stick with my Sunday until one does!

Jorgen · Jun 22, 2010

In you haven't seen it, weigh-in of several of the DH bikes ridden in Maribor WC... including the Carbon V10.
