Puzzling Ain't Easy
The continuous fine-tuning that the V10 has undergone with the Syndicate for World Cup season after season has guaranteed regular, high-level feedback. The result is perhaps the most refined suspension performance available outside of a World Cup pit. 215mm of VPP™ travel is exquisitely refined and the ease of tuning and serviceability of the VPP system makes it a hit in the pits with mechanics and privateers.
Wheel size has been the latest puzzle to ponder. Greg Minnaar, being a tall and looking for pure speed on the clock, focuses his choice on 29-inch wheels. Loris Vergier, shorter in stature but similarly looking for efficiency has chosen a mixed wheel setup (29-inch front and 27.5-inch rear). Luca Shaw chose what feels fun because to him if he’s having fun he’s going fast, so he’s also on a mixed setup.
Because there’s so many flavours and needs we offer the V10 in 27.5 (front and rear) in the smallest size up to a size large, both 29-inch (front and rear) and mixed in medium and large frame sizes, and 29-inch only for the XL frame size. So your V10 is optimized for who you are.
The most successful bike in downhill history shows no signs of slowing down.

Santa Cruz V10 In the press...
The V10's voracious appetite for speed was apparent from the moment I pointed it downhill. It is a very well balanced bike, and it didn't take long at all to get accustomed to its geometry. At 5'11 I was right at home on the size large, and while I probably could have handled an extra-large, I'd rather have a little more maneuverability instead of prioritizing straightline stability over everything else. The V10 delivers a highly engaging ride,and there was a snappiness to its handling that especially enjoyable, especially when it came to hitting larger jumps.That 's when the V10 would absolutely soar, launching further than I expected on a number of occasions. The low slung top tube helps keep the bike from feeling too tall, and provides plenty of room for maneuvering when extra body English is required.
What about cornering ? The grumbling about 29 ers not being fun has started to die down, but I 'd encourage any remaining naysayers to hit up a series of high speed bermed turns aboard the V10 29 without cracking a smile. It delivers an incredibly stable, locked in feeling – imagine the motorcycles that zoom around the Wall of Death at county fairs, or the way astronauts get pressed into their seats during blast-off, and you'll start to get the picture.

I really enjoyed my time aboard the V10 29er. We went through a lot this summer, and this bike will hold a special place in my memories for a long time. Of all the review bikes I've tested, I think this one was the hardest to give back. You could almost say it's too good, and makes everything seem easy. But but then I'd say you're just not going fast enough. The V10.7 unlocked technical moves, jumps and speeds on trails I didn't think I was capable of. Exploring the limits of this bike was terrifying, yet always comfortable some how. The V10 29er feels like a big carbon safety blanket saying, 'Don 't worry bro, I got ya.'
