 Is this a subtle preview of the new 5010?

The release video of the previous gen 5010 was the original video here, so surely a the sequel might be related?

MX setup? Glovebox? Or at least a Red, with yellow lettering colorway?

 I have a generic equivalent that was bought on Amazon for $20. Its been surprisingly strong & has put up with alot of hard landings & cases. Others “brands” are still available there but many are flimsy - hard to tell what’s what with quality.

 It's a pretty rad trick when the mini-bike version confuses me more than the real thing.

 This immediately justified my $10K Santa Cruz purchase.

 Why would you buy just the frame? I mean for $3k more you can get entry level parts. But that sticker. Oh man, that sticker.

 I'd buy a Santa Cruz if it came with a mini toy finger bike.
  • 1 0
 I see these ads for “custom” toy bikes made to order of your specific bike, pop up on Facebook quite often. But they seem super scam-ish. Anyone ever ordered one?

 Seriously hoping new 5010 is the awesome kind of mullet 27.5 front and 26 rear. Smaller mullet size would be super fun

 Just like the bikes it’s exactly the same as the one they did 2 years ago for the last 5010 launch . It even has the same props in it

 If this is where all the "dentist-money" from the Santa Cruz bikes goes, maybe it is not so bad after all. Wink
