This high-quality frame provides a solid and reliable structure, while its agile geometry makes it an ideal choice for riders seeking technical challenges and exhilarating descents.

The drivetrain on the 5010 5 R-kit is powered by the SRAM NX Eagle, a 12-speed drivetrain that offers a wide range of gear options for conquering both steep climbs and fast descents. The SRAM G2 R brakes complement the drivetrain, providing reliable and consistent stopping power for confident control on challenging trails.

To handle rough terrain and provide responsive suspension performance, the 5010 5 R-kit features a RockShox Pike Base 140mm fork at the front.

For quick and efficient saddle height adjustments on-the-go, the bike is equipped with the SDG Tellis Dropper Post with a 31.6 diameter. This dropper post allows riders to adapt their riding position to suit different terrains and preferences, enhancing control and confidence on technical descents and steep climbs.
