The V10 continues Santa Cruz's long run at the top of downhill racing. This eighth-generation frame is the brand's most advanced creation yet, and an unrivalled starting point for a custom DH build, whether you're a privateer racer or a bike park regular. For 2027 the frame kit comes in Gloss Liquid Blue or Gloss Kelp Green, fitted with a FOX DHX2 Factory coil shock.

It's the most adjustable Santa Cruz ever made. A rear axle flip-chip (+5mm / 0 / -5mm) tunes fore-aft weight balance, a 3-way lower link flip-chip adjusts BB height and head angle to suit different terrain, and adjustable reach (-8mm / 0 / +8mm) lets you dial in fit. Set it and forget it, or tweak it for a particular track or conditions. Small to Large frames run mixed wheels, while the XL runs 29" front and rear.

The frame is made from Santa Cruz's top-spec CC carbon, an advanced layup that delivers excellent ride quality, strength and durability. It's covered by the lifetime frame warranty, and the linkage bearing replacement scheme gives you new linkage bearings once a year.
