Up, down, and around: this is bike for ripping laps around your local zone or getting rowdy in the backcountry. Santa Cruz's 5010 C features VPP suspension with a Fox Float CTD providing 125mm of cush to tackle the steeps, the drops, the bumps, and the curves. A low bottom bracket and short chainstays translate into a snappy ride, while the lightweight, stiff carbon construction makes the 5010 more than just a bike: it's a well crafted tool. Throw in ISCG05 tabs, internal dropper post routing, a 142mm rear axle, and angular contact bearings for lateral stiffness and you'll be howling through the corners. SRAM's innovative X01 drivetrain snaps through 11 wide-range gears, while 27.5-inch WTB Frequency Team i23 wheels with High Roller rubber give you a stellar combination of spot-on steering and steamrolling stability over trail hits. With all that speed, it's nice knowing XT discs, an Easton bar, and Reverb Stealth dropper post are backing you up.
