SHOCK: Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate

The 5010 will fit most air shocks on the market, with the exceptions being the Fox Float X2 and Cane Creek. Depending on the exact model, the 5010 comes stock with a custom tuned Rockshox Super Deluxe or Fox Float DPS. The Fox Float X will also fit without issue.

The 5010 is designed around a 140mm travel 29" fork with 44mm offset.

Mixed wheels provide the stability and traction of a 29" front wheel with the agility of a 27.5" rear wheel. The smaller rear wheel and its comparatively lower axle height allows the rider to more easily unweight the front wheel- this makes for confident yet agile handling at speed, while retaining the 5010's playful feel.

All new 5010 frame sizes are MX

An MX bike will handle differently than a full 27.5 bike. The main difference you'll feel is a more stable and confident front end. The turning will be a little bit slower than a 27.5, but the payoff is a more secure feeling in corners and more traction. Due to the taller front axle height and improved roll-over of the large wheel, your chances of stuffing the front wheel or going over the bars is vastly diminished. Use this security to ride challenging terrain with a more aggressive and dynamic body position.

The 5010 comes with 44mm offset forks, and this is what we recommend for optimal handling.

The chainstay length change occurs in the front triangles - we vary the pivot locations fore and aft to achieve the different lengths while using a single size swingarm. The chainstay lengths are frame size specific and cannot be modified.

The 5010 will fit up to a 220mm rotor. The frame is 180mm-direct, so that's the minimum size that's compatible.

These bikes are designed specifically to use mixed wheels. Putting a 27.5" front wheel on there will lower the BB height and mess with the handling a lot. Stick with 29" up front.

Yes, this bike is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs for easy chain guide mounting. Most guides/bash guards that follow the ISCG-05 standard should fit.

You should definitely try both, but we typically recommend starting in High. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained.

This bike uses integrated headset cups. The upper up is 41mm and the lower cup is 52mm. The SHIS name is IS 41/28.6 IS 52/40.For Chris King this is a DropSet.3

The frame is UDH-compatible, but comes with our own machined aluminum hanger. You can replace it with another Santa Cruz hanger or a SRAM UDH.

The 5010 MX comes with two bags - a tube purse and a tool wallet. You should be able to fit a superlight tube, a small pump, tire lever, and misc odds and ends in these two bags.
