The V–10 has become one of the most recognisable bikes of modern years and there is no doubt that as the design has been refined and tweaked each year, it has been improved to make this current classic version of the V–10. It is without doubt one of, if not the winningest frameset of all time, with Peat, Minnaar, Rennie, Bryceland and Beaumont all racking up the victories on board the Santa Cruz over recent years. It also bucks the trend of rear travel by offering a massive 10” where almost every other brand have settled at 8 – 8.25”, remarkably the V–10 carries this extra insurance rather well and remains stable and importantly nimble. The frameset is available powder coated or anodised, and Jungle the UK distributor offer a full bike build with BoXXers, Sram X.0, Hope Brakes and Thomson finishing kit for £4,599. The V–10 remains very much a race winning package.
