Finally someone actually reviewed a bike that’s not the all singing and dancing Santa Cruz, Carbon this and that. I’ve ordered this bike and awaiting the arrival but was optimistic about the travel. However after the video I feel more at ease. 🤘🏼
great video, thanks for sharing. beautiful there. reminds me of New Hampshire. Just picked up a 5010 CC model large with all the upgrades one could want - a dream build as they say. it will arrive next week. i couldn't be more stoked!
Awesome video Nick! Wouldn’t expect anything less. Your channel is going to blow up fast. Let me know if you want to chat TH-cam stuff. I love talking about it.
I was looking at the Nukeproof Reactor 290 and 275 elite, but impossible to find in my size. So then I started looking at Santa Cruz, so many choices though. For Sedona and Moab riding I've found my 29er to be hard to turn, and the front end doesn't soak things up enough, that has me leaning toward 27.5, which I like on my gravel bike. But I'm not sure how much climbing efficiency I want vs. downhill slediness.
Yeah, it’s a tough choice and compromise either way. Hopefully bikes will become more available soon and you can try a handful to help you decide. Best wishes.
I have the same bike coming. Did you get a dropper ran through the frame? Does it go through the heard, then up the seat tube by going on top of the bottom bracket? I just need to know where to run the line through the frame for the dropper. Thank you in advance!!
Interesting.... I tried the 5010 on a Santa Cruz demo day. Always wanted to give it a go - to see how it compared to my excellent Bronson C. Had been looking forward to it for some time and was pretty excited when the day came. Anyway, tried the 5010 and found it to be ..... just awful! Tried a fair few different SC bikes that day - and the one that stood out for me for its awfulness was the 5010. It just felt like a cheap shopping bike. Must have been me, I guess....
@@nickevenson6687 thats what i was thinking. I bought mine as a frame only and only had 2 choices either the aluminum or the cc versions.. it was an easy choice but painfull price. Lol cheers mate

It’s a great bike and lots of people love it. Hope you become one of them! Enjoy.

Great review. Looks like a great bike. It's been quite a few years since I road trails like that. Thanks Nick.

Thanks! Would love to chat anytime... lots to learn yet.
Just in time for the 2021 5010!
Yeah man... my timing was impeccable 😆
Wow this video has a lot of views good job! 👍
Thanks, it’s funny how certain keywords get searched and boom, you get views!

This is great. Highlight this on Insta And the FB
Thanks bro!
Great bike just bought 3 weeks ago. Been riding basically every day i have off.
Awesome Preston! I’m jealous of the trails y’all have back in Nw AR... hoping to journey out that way some time to ride. Thanks for watching.
Nick Evenson if you ever get to come down this way, you’ll have to come ride with my group! Hit me up!
Will do!
Nice!
Just subscribed!
I ride my Santa Cruz nomad v5 as a trail bike lol its not too bad actually and seems like the best jack of all trades.
This looks awesome but I think I will stick to the rode! Those turns looked really scary!

Hey Chris, this one had a dropper internally routed from the factory. Best wish3s with your new ride!
@@nickevenson6687 thank you for the reply!
Give us a shout when you wanna come ride Bentonville/fayetville
Shoot yeah bro!

Thanks for sharing. A lot of people love the 5010, and to me it felt sorta like the baby brother of the Bronson. Glad your loving your Bronson anyhow!
Grab a V4 Tallboy and run the same. Let's us know if the beefed suspension gives you the same DH but more efficient climbing.
I’ll keep my eyes open for one, would love to try it!
That trail looks a bit scary for me. I'll keep taking it slow!
So whats the deal why doesnt the rear shock have the piggy back? I have a custom 2019 sc 5010 cc .. straight pimped.. wheres your piggy? Great review
I’m no expert on suspension design... but here’s a write up that may be useful: bouncecycles.co.uk/piggyback-v-non-piggyback-shocks/
And this was the base model build I think... likely why there’s no piggyback

Because you get x2 on GX (S) Builds.
