It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – the official release of the Santa Cruz V10 8! This is the most successful downhill racing bike. Now with more customizability and improved ride quality. It has three-point adjustment with a rear axle flip chip, lower link flip chip, and reach adjust headset cups. So you can change up the fore-aft weight balance, bottom bracket height and head tube angle, and reach. Endless tuning options!
The VPP suspension is back with a more refined design. Promising more traction and support with less pedal kickback. It delivers 203mm travel in the front and 208mm in the rear. Small to large sizes have mixed wheels, and extra-large is a full 29er. Both builds have a CC carbon frame for unmatched strength and durability on the trails. You can also get just the frame and build it out yourself.
And we have to talk about race stats. The Santa Cruz Syndicate team earned three wins and 13 podiums on the V10 at the 2023 Downhill World Cup. Just think of the fun and success it will bring you!
