My god, the v10 is only 1400 dollars while the rotec is at 2100. What gives? how can they make a v10 so realativly cheap??? I dont get it, the v10 is so much cheaper than all the other DH frames. Some 1 explain, are santa cruz making crap quality or are other overcharging.

It comes down to numbers. Do you think there are as many Rotecs as there are V10s? Not even close.
When Sulley can afford to make as many DH9's as Santa Cruz does V10's, then the pricing will drop.

05 bike i cheap!
my guess is clearing out tubular models for the new monocoque stuff.Originally posted by Acadian
wow...okay you got me there! That is pretty frekkin cheap!!
They are probably clearing out the 2004 frames..
I just saw a little article about Whistler bike park in some outdoor magazine today. In the arcticle the had a picture of a V-10 and said how it was the perfect bike for Whistler than went on to say it was $1499 and $1649 for a frame. I thought for sure this was a typo in the magazine. Now I come home and see this. There was one difference in the magazine, they had the new monocoque frame pictured.
Something seems wrong. Look at the prices of the frame with a fork? If the frame is $1499 then a Marz JrT would be about $1000. Either they posted the wrong frame prices or they have not updated the frame and fork combo prices.
although considering the Frame with floating and 5th is 1649 and the Hadley floater hub is 240. that adds up to about 1900 and then the jr.t/v10 is about 2460 or so, so that would make more sense
actually, at some places (like richardsbikes.com) the V10s are only 1500...however I suspect this is because the new mono-model will be introduecd, and the price will probably shoot back up around 2K.Originally posted by Acadian
say what??
2004.5 V10 frame with 5th Element rear shock pricing currently estimated at around -
$2400 Anodized Finish
$2200 Powdercoat Finish
Ti Spring upgrade - +$24
I just hope those numbers you listed are not EP or shop discounts??
The price is changed this year for sure. I just bought one, and lets just say it was a hell of a lot cheaper then I thought it was going to be.
UK PRICE RANT:
Price of V10 with QR dropouts and cromo coil.... 1500GBP...

The SC pricing in the UK is a LOT more real world than most other manufacturers.
Really?????? Only $24, or was that a typo?
firstly you must remeber we're talking about a US made bike so to get it to the UK they have to ship it (they might even be airfreighting them in, much more expensive), clear customs etc. There might even be duties involved. So there would be many more parties involved in getting the bike from Santa Cruz to your LBS, all adding to the price
also the UK price includes VAT at 17.5% where as in the states the price excludes sale tax.
