Santa Cruz 5010 Carbon MX - GX AXS - Matt Brown - 2025

The 5010 is not just "the little bike" of our range. It makes even the most mundane trails feel like they're loaded with features to hop, skip and jump over. It's like having super-skills at your fingertips. The 5010 has always been more capable than many expected but with the traction-gaining 29-inch wheel up front and even more refined suspension the 5010 gives you a deft touch on the trails.

FEATURES

• SRAM Eagle Transmission - stronger, better shifting, wirelessly: The next generation SRAM Eagle Transmission is a radically robust, fully integrated and interdependent wireless transmission. Built around the universal constant of the wheel axle itself, the Full Mount hangerless attachment creates a far stronger connection to the frame and the super strong derailleur provides unprecedented strength. Shifting under load is made possible due to a combination of X-SYNC technology and cassette mapping, creating seamless shifts even during your hardest power output. The new AXS Pods are extremely ergonomic and highly customizable, so shifting gears is light and intuitive. It's simply the most advanced transmission and nearly as tough as the mountain itself.
  
• MX: The bigger 29 front wheel provides traction where the 27.5 rear wheel provides ability for agility. The combination results in stupid fun.
  
• The Glovebox keeps your essentials within reach, including your driving gloves. Also comes with a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse for keeping things organized.
  
• 130mm of VPP travel, Relatively short chainstays and a low BB creates laser sharp handling and an insatiable appetite for negotiating steep, technical climbs.
  
• Chainstay length and seat tube angle is matched to the frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry.
