Description:It makes mountains into molehills. Two years on the drawing board, now fully realized in all its metal glory, the VPP-derived V10 signals the changing of the guard in suspension technology. Everything else just became old news. Featuring 10 inches of rear wheel travel, controlled jointly by a titanium sprung Progressive 5th Element shock and the revolutionary VPP linkage, the V10 smashed all of our preconceived notions about what constitutes downhill performance. Even when running an ultra-plush, mega-Barcalounger 4 inches of negative travel, the V10 still pedals without any bobbing and accelerates faster than any downhill bike has a right to. Heck, it accelerates faster than some cross country bikes we could name. And still devours every obstacle in its path.
Crafted from 6066 aluminum alloy, all pivots running on sealed cartridge bearings, featuring replaceable dropouts (not just hangers, bunky, the whole dang dropout. Shifting performance is key!), with a fully floating rear brake and the best shock money can buy, the V10 is a revolution unto itself. The future starts here. Don't get left behind.

Strengths:
The suspension allows you to hit anything with confidence and speed. This is the 08 frame, the sligtly lower front end corners better than my 06 did.The reduction in weight is nice also - built with same parts as my o6 and weighed 2 lbs lighter.
Weaknesses:
None so far

Bottom Line:
I do not consider myself to be a really fast rider, however this bike allows me to easliy keep ahead of my riding buddys. When I am behind them I am always wondering why they are riding so slow! As you can see from above I have tried a few different bike in the last couple years, the Sunday is as fast, but I found that the bike I always reach for first is the V-10 - especially if the trail is extremly knarly - the V-10 allows you to just go and not worry about what you are going off or over. It does take a bit to get used to jumping it though. The pedalling is amazing also - you just do not feel any bob when cranking, even when cranking up a hill. Take your time getting the suspension set up for your riding - it makes a big difference in how the bike handles.

Strengths:
it is an overall pretty good bike. huge amounts of travel. nothing it cant go over. a plow best describes the bike.
Weaknesses:
my bike is a 2005 setup with rc2 40's, and if you want a bike that is strictly for hitting the gnarliest rock sections, then this is the bike for you. but, the problem is that this is a slow and steady wins he race frame. my bike has a fairly light setup and its weighing in at 44.5 pounds. that extra weight makes it tough to turn, haul ass over rock piles, and jump.
if you just want a fun bike to ride, this is a grat bike. but, it is far from anything close to a race bike. you will find this bike feeling sluggish and slow over anything you do, and eventually you wont like it anymore. if you want a race bike, and ive ridden all the top brands, i would spend your money in a turner dhr. they are the most expensive frame on the market [about 3 grand] but it has the perfect amount of travel, handles like a sunday, jumps like a demo 8, and plows like a v-10. and they arent changing their frame next year so you wont be stuck with the old stuff. turner wont change their dhr frame for another 3 years. my advice, try them all. there is one bike out there that will feel completely natural and thats the bike youll want.

Bottom Line:
I don't know how Santa Cruz will make this bike better! This bike is unreal with the Fox dhx 5.0 coil. I ride it XC, freeride Hucked it off 10 ft drops and done the rocky downhills. I thought that the little brother of the V-10 would be too stiff to ride downhill. The transformation from having a stiff platform going up hill to a plush ride down hill with out any adjustments Blew my mind. I found it to be a lot nimbler than my V-10 which made me faster in technical sections. I am going to use the "bad back" excuse to keep my caddy ride v-10 even though deep down I know my free is all I need. I am telling all my buddies to go buy one you won't regreat it!

This bike is designed to squat into the travel when you pedal, soke up the biggest hits, smooth out the roughest bumps, and be light enough to place it were you want it on the race track. Jumps like a champ, corners with the best of em, and sprints like a slalom bike.
Weaknesses:
I have owned and raced V-10s since generation 1. I have watched this machine evolve into the steed it is today, and with every issue that comes up Santa Cruz is quick to release the new revisions. The only lagitiment complaint I have ever heard was frame availibilty.

Bottom Line:
I was looking for another Foes, because I tought it was it with its strong look and floating disc brake. But could not forget how stable and smooth the VPP UZZY felt. When I read that SC changed their linkage in 2005 to help eleminate brake jack, read all the reviews, I added the V10 to my search list for a used DH. When I saw $3K for a 2006 5 rides V10, I could not resist any longer. Handles quicker than my Foes, so smooth, even at lower speed. I'm not a full time DH'er and this bike made me feel very confident that I'm already jumping higher and longer. You ride ``in`` the bike and with the help of the 40RC2 ajusting the - and + compression seperatly is really a plus. Great bike, great package, look brand new. I recommend that bike for any part time DH guy, really feel like you can do anything. I also assume that it would be great for any level of rider.

**This is for the 06 V10**
They have improved the downtube. bb gusset, welded a ISCG 05 adapter, and changed to a 83 mm bb shell for 06, NICE but make sure you know this before you buy cause SC does not list it in their catalog.
If you are considering buying this bike you have already come to terms with the price, it is expensive but worth the $. It takes a bit to learn how to ride a bike with this much sag, you have to learn how to jump and hop a bit different and be aware of how low your bb is when in the bottom end of the travel. This bike hauls ass at Whistler and the like. Still light enough for Shore type stuff, but a little tough to manouver when really slow, (what do you expect from a DH bike?) My pivots creak a bit, but i think it is more my fault for getting them too wet, I have heard that the SC pivots are notorious for being crap though. Every bike has a weakness, but the strengths on the V10 far outweigh the probs. Yeah the shock it tough to get at, but this rig is built for ride function and it takes 2 mins to take the shock off anyway. This bike will take you to the next level, very forgiving, pedals amazing for a dh rig too! Get the anno finish for the extra cash, it is worth it, I feel you should get more selection for anno colours though when your dropping this much cash!
If you don't have the cash, my buddy shreds on his VP free and loves it too for over a grand less!
