New V-10 Spec/Info up at Santa Cruz!!!
- Thread starter dhtahoe
- Start date
does anybody else notice the URL for the site says "V11"? 
Seems as if the new V10 is pretty much all race oriented. In that case, im kind of glad I have a 04.
Weird, I was just comparing the V-10 geom. vs. the VPP free and the VPP free has a higher standover! I would have thought it would be the other way around.

Yeah the site says v11 all over, check the pricing page...over $6000 w/ a Dorado and Ano...holy jehuzella! http://www.santacruzmtb.com/bicycles/v11.php?pricing=1
I would guess the reason that it says V-11 is because the pages for the old v-10 are still up, so they couldn't call it that, and perhaps it was called the V-11 internally to tell the difference between the two.

looks rad. I have a red one on order
what does the V11 weigh w/ Ti spring?
actually, the new bike is slightly shorter & steeper (my wish list for the old design) - making it a *potentially* more versatile ride. tyler k. was saying its a better freeride chassis than the old design ie, a better jumper ("popier" / less dead feeling), more nimble/tossable, etc. sounds pretty cool.Shmoe said:
here is the acurate sizing info

The new V-10 (aka V-10 Mono, right?) is approximately 1.5pounds lighter than the old V-10, putting it somewhere between 10 and 11 pounds, if I'm not mistaken. Plus the suspension got a serious redesign, pinch bolts on all of the pivots, no more topout bolt to break, and more.
the thing that caught my attention with the V11 or 10 was the rear fender it had on it (anyone know if its extra or comes stock with the frame...as well as the rear hub etc)...put a 888r on it with its fender on it and the dam thing would look pimpin as...
the pinky red colout sure ain a hit with me...(even tho its my backdrop...

)Correct, the frame is at least 1.5 lbs lighter. I will weight the first one we get and post it. But the word from my sources is that it is a little more than 1.5 lbs lighter.scofflaw23 said:
Also, the shock is mounted significantly lower. This improves the center of gravity.
The suspension is set up to about 3" of sag instead of 4" on the 2004 V10. This is supposed to make it more "lively". I can't comment on that since I have only taken one for a parking lot ride.
mmmm
those numbers make the frame look much more versitile
this year and more nimble
definately one of the best frames out there IMO
ill take a Medium thanks
