Santa Cruz V10 Frame

The V10 is a dedicated downhill race frame. It is engineered specifically for high-speed, technical gravity riding and is best suited for riders who spend their time on lift-accessed terrain or dedicated downhill race courses.

The adjustable geometry allows you to tweak the head tube angle, chainstay length, and suspension kinematics. This means you can lengthen the bike for stability on fast, open tracks or shorten it for better maneuverability on tighter, more technical courses.

No, the V10 is built with Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) compatibility. This makes finding a replacement hanger much easier since it is a widely available standard across the mountain bike industry.

This specific V10 frame is designed for 29-inch wheels. This wheel size provides excellent rollover capability and momentum maintenance, which are critical for high-speed downhill racing.

The V10 uses a threaded bottom bracket standard. This is generally preferred by mechanics and riders alike for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and tendency to be quieter than press-fit alternatives.

The frame comes with integrated protection specifically placed to handle shuttle wear and rock strikes. It is designed to take the abuse of aggressive gravity riding, keeping the carbon chassis shielded from common trail impacts.
