Consumer Reports

They may be a bit less common than they used to be, but the Santa Cruz 5010 is a great reminder that 27.5-inch wheels are here to stay. This recently redesigned mid-travel trail bike rolls on "fun-sized" wheels and has 130mm of rear travel paired with a 140mm travel fork. Its updated geometry brings it in line with modern trends and makes it a confident and well-rounded descender with a distinctly lively and playful demeanor. The smaller wheels and short rear center make it feel eager to get the front wheel off the ground, while the supportive VPP suspension design provides a nice platform to push off of. Deep stroke performance is also excellent and gives it a more-travel-than-it-actually-has feel. The pedaling platform is steady and the steep seat tube angle lines the rider up in a comfortable and efficient seated climbing position. Flip-chips in the lower shock mount also allow you to adjust the geometry slightly for your preferences. The XO1 RSV build we tested is outstanding, albeit quite expensive.
We found little not to like about the new 5010. It is worth noting, however, that compared to 29-inch wheels, the smaller hoops don't carry momentum quite as well and can hang up a little more easily in rock gardens and technical terrain. The flip-chips are also quite challenging to access, though that isn't something most riders will be adjusting very often. That said, if you like smaller wheels or simply turning every trail into a playground, the 5010 is an excellent option to consider. 

The recently redesigned, mid-travel, 27.5-inch wheeled Santa Cruz 5010 is a playful trail bike for fun-loving riders. With 130mm of rear-wheel travel, a 140mm fork, and modern but not extreme geometry, this quick-witted ride had our testers seeking the fun line, riding the back wheel, and popping off every bump in the trail. The smaller wheels and short chainstays make it easy to get the front wheel off the ground, yet its moderate length wheelbase, reach, and slack-ish headtube angle keeps it stable at speed and confident on rougher, steeper descents. The VPP suspension design provides great mid-stroke support and big-hit performance, and a super steady pedaling platform. A properly steep seat tube angle provides a comfortable upright seated climbing position and direct, efficient transfer of power to the pedals. Our only real complaints are that it doesn't have the best small bump compliance and that 27.5-inch wheels don't roll over obstacles or carry momentum quite as well as bigger hoops. Yes, the XO1 Reserve build we tested is expensive, but there are three more affordable options to choose from. If the trail is your playground and you're more concerned with having fun than going fast, then the 5010 was made for you.

 It was really good pedals. Really nice VP tightens up in the backend when you're putting down the power, so my kids are trying to say is that the santa cruz 50:10 is a poppy playful fun bike that trail bike? That can basically do it all, but it's not gon na be the fastest bike. It'S not gon na be like my stomach jumper two-niner here. The straight-line speed is not where he excels

 A large would be a little better, but just totally around that was really nice. Keep that smooth aligned and she go straight - Oh God, of course, I'm the slow stuff. Oh alright, penalty! Timing. Let'S see how the 50:10 puddles just dinner, OTB, I'm like going one mile an hour what the hell but jumping this thing is like so light I think, having a size

 It'S not gon na be like my stomach jumper two-niner here. The straight-line speed is not where he excels. It'S in the tight trails, a lot of switchbacks a lot of burns where the bike really performs well, a couple things that i didn't notice at the bike park at holland bike park is that when this the train got a little steep. It gave me that scary moment that i was gon na go over

2019 Santa Cruz 5010 CC | Test Ride and Review | Can the 5010 handle a BIKE PARK?

 On top of the pedals and with the new lower link design. It'S pretty efficient new, lower length, vpp design never touched a shock yet minimal bob kind of feels like the tall boy in this regard. Here, it's pretty good technical, climbing suspension's, pretty active, providing me with plenty of traction, but you could tell you i think it's just a wheel. Size thing i do get hung up a couple seconds back back there

 It'S just supposed to be a playful poppy and i'm here to find out if it's still true to the 5010 name, so we're just going to climb up make some uh descents hit some jumps and see how the 5010 handles it all. So, for 2021, 5010's got a full makeover, completely updated, lower, longer slack treatment on this size. Large frame, a couple geo figures: it's got four 29 millimeter chainstays and that chainstay length varies with what size bike you have. So that's kind of cool keeps you more centered

 I think the new 50 10's for you, but if you're looking for speed and um stability on the descent and um, something that crushes the kom's in the climb, i probably look somewhere else, but super fun bike. Good job, santa cruz did not disappoint thanks for watching guys, see you next time and peace all right. Good morning, boys and girls today we're going to be reviewing the 2021 santa cruz, 50 10. good um 144

 For me, i cut these down to 780 and sram g2r. Brakes. Surprisingly, [ Music ], this new 5010, definitely climbed better than his predecessor, big fan of a steeper seat. Tube angle, you know 76 77 is like my sweet spot, so you just like kind of ride

2021 Santa Cruz 5010 | Test Ride & Review | Still the BMX mountain bike?

 Train stays so fairly well balanced, and that is a quite a short back end. You also get a sixty six degree head angle, which is reasonably slack and pretty much on par for the rest of the bikes interlock of the year [ Music ]. So the reason why the 5010 appears in every iteration of trail back of here is that it's a true trail bike. It'S not trying to be a little enduro bike and it's not trying to be a big beefy cross-country bike

 But it's never quite a winner for one very good reason: it's a great fun trail bike, but it's not very well priced. There are various versions of the 5010 on offer, both alloy the regular, see carbon and the CC carbon as well. You also get twenty seven point: five plus or twenty nine inch versions of the bike we had the alloy r+ build, so it came with the plus tire option in 27.5 inch diameter and it comes in at three thousand four hundred and ninety nine pounds: [ Music ] Santa Cruz released a new version of the fifty ten later on in 2018, and it didn't have a massive amount of changes from the previous version, a few tweaks here and there, especially around the Beebe area, where the shock is mounted

 You get a minion dhf and at the back, there's a slightly faster rolling recon surround also provide the brakes, and here it's the guide T with 180 ml rotors front and back now the T is the most budget version of these brakes and we'll talk about that. Later, on finishing kit is a range of Race Face and WTB stuff, it's all fairly reasonable, there's also a Race Face effect, 150ml drop post and a WT v, silverado saddle, which didn't cause any problems for any of our testers. Overall, this bike comes in at 15.2 kilos for a size large, which is fairly heavy [ Music, ] santa cruz offer the fifty ten in a wide number of options, there's a low frames and two different versions of the carbon ones as well

 If there's a carbon frame, maybe you'd just about get away with it, but it's an alloy frame with the heaviest Eagle cassette out there. If you do an upgrade to a light one or when this wears out - and you want that extra ten to fifty to three inch from the GX or above you've got a replace the freehub as well. So this is really fundamental to why the 50:10 never wins. Trail bike of the year: it's just such poor value for money

Trek Roscoe. About the same pricing and same components as the grand canyon. Just got one for my wife yesterday who Started mountain biking.

Roadie here looking to get into MTB after already getting into gravel.  

Sorry, I know questions like this have been posted before. But just looking for any new input since most of the posts I found in search refer to 2021 or earlier Model Years and it seems like new tech/bikes/builds come out practically weekly.

Looking to spend not more than $1500 or so. Riding around where I live is probably split between "Trail"/"XC".  Probably a more "trail", but gotta climb everywhere.  Ideally also looking for a bike that I won't be itching to spend money to upgrade components. (I know nobody "needs" to buy upgrades, but come on... we know what we are...)

The [Grand Canyon 7](https://www.canyon.com/en-us/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-7/2617.html?dwvar_2617_pv_rahmenfarbe=BU%2FBK#all-components-section-tab) comes in around $1300. SRAM SX, Dropper Post, Judy Silver Air Fork. Not sure how Canyon works, but on the Canada site the also list a [Grand Canyon 8](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/grand-canyon/grand-canyon-8/2619.html?dwvar_2619_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY%2FRD#all-components-section-tab) which I don't see listed on the US site.   Looks like the upgrades from the 7 are SRAM SX to Shimano Deore 12, and the Judy fork to a Fox 34 Rhythm.  Price converted to USD is just over $1500. That would actually probably be perfect for what I want. From what I've read SX and the Judy fork are "okay", whereas Deore and the Fox would be a definite step up. But, I don't know if I can actually buy it.  Canyon Canada also gets a [Stotic 3](https://www.canyon.com/en-ca/mountain-bikes/trail-bikes/stoic/stoic-3/2660.html?dwvar_2660_pv_rahmenfarbe=GY#all-components-section-tab) at about $1400 (converted to USD), wheres the US site only lists a Stoic 2 ($1200 but 10sp &amp; no Dropper post), or a Stoic 4 ($2000= more than I want to spend).

The other option I see around is the [Polygon Xtrada 7](https://www.polygonbikes.com/product/mountain/xtrada-7-4/). Their US dealer BikesOnline has it around $1k. Comes with Deore 12 and thru-axles. But the fork, Suntour XCR32 Air, (from what I've seen online) seems to be a bit of a let down. Though not sure if it would feel like that to me, who's used to rigid road bike.  Also it isn't  15x110 spacing like the Canyons.  So any Fork upgrade I assume also means you need new wheel/hub as well. The Xtrada also has 27.2 seatpost and doesn't come with a Dropper. So, $1000 upfront, but get a Dropper (what are they like $150 give or take?) and it inches closer to the Grand Canyon7 in price while not having as nice a fork (but does have Deore 12). Not sure what a fork upgrade would cost/if there are any Forks worth upgrading to that would have the same 15x100 spacing.  

As an aside, what does it take to upgrade from something like a Deore 10/11sp to 12?  Just cassette and adjust the Deraileur?  Or do you need new hubs, Deraileurs, shifters, etc?

Anyway, apologies for the wall-o-text.  A bit bored at work here on Friday and maybe I got a bit carried away hahah. Thanks in advance for any input!

Edit: Canyon basically said &quot;That&#39;s rough buddy&quot;. No potential option to buy the Stoic 3 or GC8, unless I meet a friendly Canadian who be my bicycling smuggling mule.

Edit: Have been convinced to stay away from SRAM SX. Have ordered the Xtrada7.

Is there a better "budget" MTB out there than the Grand Canyon 7 that is available in the US?

Just got the bike a couple days ago and today (July/9/2022) I went to Culham Trails in Mississauga and had a blast. 

I would buy the bike again

 My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better. 9/10 would recommend.

 I have taken this thing to downhill parks and 25 ft+ jumps. Really sturdy bike. My only complaint of the 2021 Roscoe 8 was that the front was a little heavy. Other than that, great bike! I think the 2022 model will be even better

Roscoe is an extremely good bike
