2009 Santa Cruz V10 Downhill Race Bike This is the last year of Santa Cruz’s DH Race Bikes when they were absolute monsters. This frameset has 254mm of rear wheel travel. That is 10 inches of travel. This bike has only ever had one owner. I purchased it new and lovingly built it up with each specific part that I wanted. Mechanic Owned. Everything has just been serviced. New Frame Bearings. Full fork service and damper rebuild. Rear shock service. Wheels trued, drivetrain tuned. The component build is as follows Frame: 2009 Santa Cruz v10 – size medium – Hard anodized black finish Aluminum front and rear triangle with carbon fiber upper link and rear shock debris protector/fender Forks: 2010 Rockshox Boxxer World Cup – 4-way adjustable independent high and low speed rebound and compression Rear shock: 2014 Cane Creek Double Barrel Air – 4-way adjustable independent high and low speed rebound and compression Wheels: Sun Ringle Double Track rims laced to hand built Hadley v10 signature rear hub – set up by Mike Hadley himself for this frame. Front hub is a Loco. Maxxis DHF and DHR combo tires with DH casings. Front tire @ 90%, rear tire @ 70%. Drivetrain: RaceFace Diabolus crankset with Blackspire 38t chainring, Sram X9 rear derailleur with DH cassette, MRP G2 Chain Guide Cockpit: Chris King headset, Sunline V-one 762mm flat bars, Twenty6 components direct mount stem Thompson Elite Seatpost with Marzocchi Saddle -Bike comes with an extra Derailleur hangar -Bike does not come with brakes. If you need help spec-ing some we can talk and I might be able to help you out. I am selling this bike for two reasons. 1. Size medium is a bit too small for me now. I wish it weren’t the case. 2. I am moving out of the country soon, and as the bike doesn’t fit me well anymore, it cannot come with me, The bike has some cosmetic scratches, but they are few and mostly on the rear triangle. Thankfully, the hard anodized frame finish is quite tough. Otherwise, especially for it’s age, I would say that the bike is in excellent to immaculate condition. It has been, and still is very much loved. This thing truly rips, can still handle any DH course you set in front of it, and keep up with many of the newer bikes. 254mm of rear travel is truly bottomless. This would be a fantastic bike for a younger person jumping into the sharp end of the sport, or a great rig to use as a park bike for smashing out laps at a lift access area. The only thing this bike doesn’t do well is pedal uphill. 10 inches of rear travel and a dh cassette do not lend themselves to climbing. I am open to serious offers, please reach out and let me know what you have in mind. Cheers!
