Expirience with the Santa Cruz 5010 X01 / AXS / RSV / CC / 27.5

Ludwig Döhl The 5010 X01 is the funnest thing in the American´s portfolio. The 140 mm and the small 27.5 wheels invite you to dance down the trail with this bike. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the All Mountain of Santa Cruz is probably not the right bike for you. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
