SC 5010 definitely does not need to go 29, They have the Tallboy for that. Still loving my V2 5010 btw!

Omg stop with 29er thing. I mean it’s not like Santa Cruz doesn’t have the Tallboy, Hightower and Megatower if you want a 29er. SC has done it right. A specifically designed bike in 3 travel amounts in 27.5 and 29. No one bike that will take both but is not designed for either. So please, stop trying to get rid of 27.5. Plenty of us love them.

@DADventureTV: Agree. Most of the journalists' comments these days seem to be substituting their own opinions for public opinion. "Shouldn't every bike be red? I mean, that is EVERYONE'S favorite color, right?" What I would love to see, but never have, is an honest review of all of the negatives of 29ers (and there are many) that somehow seem to be omitted in every review, whether it's praising a 29 in. bike, or criticizing a 27.5 for not being 29.

I think it's cool, that SC are still comitted to 27,5. They still have a full line up of both 27,5" and 29" bikes.

I've ridden a 26" Heckler for years and still love it.

Definitely my next bike frame. I've been waiting for this one!

LONG LIVE 27.5!!! 🙌🏼

I think it will be my next bike after my Giant reign advanced 1 from 2015. I love my reign, but I feel 5010 will be much more fun and in raspberry color! can't wait!

I went from 29 to 27.5 then back to 29 and now back to 27.5. 27.5 = the fun and playful size 29 = the faster and better roll over size Choose a size and be a dick about it

Not every bike needs 29 inch wheels damn it.

He sounded like 27.5 will be gone! Long live 650b!

I ride a 2013 model 5010 that I bought brand new in 2020. When it comes time to replace this bike, I’d probably buy another 5010. Yes, it’s that good.

I know everyone’s having to make do but I would recommend doing something about where you record audio. There’s loads of stuff you can do from hanging heavy blankets, to DIY foam enclosures around the mic.

Has Tom secretly died and his voice digitally synthesized to keep that BikeRadar vibe going, or is it a more sinister Transcendence, type thing? We love you Tom and the irk the price mark of all Santa Cruz bikes brings you😁💜

I bought the first 29er in 2011 with the Trek Marlin Gary Fisher. I'm 207 cm tall. I am waiting for the next wheel size up ;).

And may he never change

Which offset has the fork.? I have traveled the fox 34 from my 5010 v3 to 140mm and would swap frames if possible.

Can you please do a video on Tom’s audio recording setup? Thanks for the vid, great channel.

I was wondering when the 5010 would get the design change. Looks good. I hope you guys get your hands on the new Ibis Mojo 4. More interested in that

Looks great. Still love 27.5, works for my trails (I’m not a 29’r hater either). That said, a Bird Aether 7 looks just as good as this and is way less money for great spec (alloy frame, but don’t mind that). Ibis launched the new Mojo, now this, the Aether, Scout...27.5 ain’t dead! #ridewhatmakesyouhappy

As what people predicted when the 12s Deore was announced, Santa Cruz indeed spec one of their bikes with Sram NX.😅

A 29er 5010 would kind of be a tallboy

Why get rid of 27.5" bikes? It's better to give the consumer the option, IMO. I'll always prefer the smaller wheel size. Plus, Santa Cruz already has the Tallboy for people who want a 29" trail bike. Anyways, if I had the money for it, I'd be looking at this bike as my next irresponsible purchase. It looks sweet as hell.

Great review. I've got an absolutely pimped 2019 5010cc .xtr di2 factory 36 chris king hope etc. I spent more than a fortune on it . I can finally eat again. Lol. If the V5 is a 29r... I'd think I'd actually go down to SC headquarters and slap some1 lol I can't stand 29rs but I believe in to each there own. I bought into the company brand with the frame lifetime warranty. I pray 🙏 I never hurt my v3 5010cc.

Sounds like the "new" 5010 has gone the way of the hightower and other models in the SC line. Damn, they want $5k for the c carbon GX bike with heavy wheels and a heavy alloy bar and entry level suspension. I have a 2016 OG hightower, 29lbs with pedals and cage. Demoed the new Hightower, at 31+ lbs, and decided my bike rode better and was more fun. The new lower link feels like dead wood unless you get the cc version frame with the nicer rear shock, which costs way too much.
