2012 Santa Cruz Bicycles V10 Frame with DHX RC4 - 2012
As good as the V10 was, Santa Cruz knew it could be far better based on what they learned from their earlier reincarnations of the Nomad and Blur series in carbon fiber. What was once an absolute terror on the World Cup circuit is now a full pound lighter, stiffer, and ...read more
2012 Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy Carbon - 2012
At 5 pounds, the Santa Cruz Tallboy is one of the lightest, if not the lightest full-suspension 29er available -- by a pound or two in most cases.

2012 Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur XC Carbon - 2012
The 4.1 pound Blur XC Carbon was the first carbon fiber bike for Santa Cruz, and when they worked on its design, the goals were simple: it had to be light, it had to pedal flawlessly, it had to be stiff, and it had to be strong… like no fine print strong. It takes cross country race bikes ...read more
2012 Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball Carbon - 2012
Greyhound, Moscow Mule, and Screwdriver are some names for highball drinks that seem appropriate as metaphors for the Santa Cruz Highball.

It was designed expressly for big wheels, and that meant a ...read more

2012 Niner AIR 9 RDO - 2012
The AIR 9 is a highly respected tool of the hardtail trade, and it's difficult to believe that Chris Sugai and his band of overachieving engineers could improve on that platform.

2013 Orbea Alma 29 Silver
We can think of few mountain bikes with designs so forward-thinking that their legitimacy endured for more than a couple of years.
