I know everyone is hightower crazed, any info on 2020 5010 colors? All I heard is some colors might stay another year, maybe a third option for '20?

I demo'd the L and M recently, and found I really like the Lg, where as by the #s I thought the M would have been perfect, but these steeper seat tube angles encourage sizing up.

Agreed, numbers say a M for me but the L is making me happy.

I had my LBS call Santa Cruz and they were told that a color refresh would be done to some models on July 2nd. I hope that includes the 5010 which is the one I want to purchase.

Glad I got a purple one before they change it. I get random compliments on it every time I ride.

Robins Egg and matte gray. I think the purple and matte carbon are going away

I'm a low-key kinda guy so Matte Carbon for me, glad I got mine in time.

Are these colors confirmed or just speculation?

Treat everything as rumors until you see it go live on the manufacturer’s website.

When's the announcement? Thursday??

 

[mikeinbend]

Just rumors.

Love the new colors, but still like last year’s colors better.

I like the robins egg and orange but like my purple better.

Interesting to see they spec'd the higher end models with Pike's.

I kinda wish the blue was more blue, but SC's website is NOT a good place for a realistic color match, the mega in green looks much more saturated than the one I saw in person, and the purple 5010 looks different under different light by a lot. The juliana gets the v10 grey, which I kinda like. My lbs said some colors were carrying over, and you can still see the black/purple in the bike builder section, so maybe the purple fans aren't out of luck.

Yea I wish that blue was a darker blue. Not digging that light color. It might look better in person but I will have to wait or might just go with the grey instead.

do you know if the ribbed chainstay protector from megatower will fit on 5010 v3?
also wished the juliana light grey would also be available for the mens bikes, simply love the light grey from the v10 or bronson. but i get a last year matte carbon/silver.

Does anyone know where you can purchase 5010 aluminum "frame-only" from?

If anyone finds a review or pics other than the SC site, post em up.

 

[chadbrochills]

Probably not going to be many new reviews as there's nothing new except color choice and AXS/Pike forks on the top tier models.
