Ride to victory on the latest V10 8!

Santa Cruz's flagship downhill bike is back! The 8th-gen V10 has more modern geometry and better kinematics. There are three different adjustments with three settings each. You can alter the rear axle flip chip, lower link flip chip, and reach adjust headset cups to change fore-aft weight balance, bottom bracket height and head tube angle, and reach.

The Virtual Pivot Point suspension returns with 208mm rear travel and better kinematics. Giving you less pedal kickback and more traction. Also more rider support. S-L have a mixed wheel set-up with a 27.5" in the back. XL is a full 29er. All sizes have a longer reach for a more modern fit.

There are two full built-out kits - DH S and DH X01 - and frame only. With the brand's own CC carbon fiber for added versatility. This was ridden by the Santa Cruz Syndicate team for World Cup victories. You can be a champion cyclist, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

2024 Santa Cruz V10 8

  • What's included with the V10 8?

    Complete bikes and frames have everything you need to change up the geometry. Headset cups: +/- 8mm and 0mm. Dropouts: Short, Mid, Long. Lower link chips: Hi/Lo, Mid. Brake adaptor: 220mm, 200mm.

  • What geometry specs should I start with?

    There's 3-position adjustment at the headtube lower link, and chainstay. Start them in the middle/neutral position and adjust as needed.

  • What are the chainguide options?

    The bike has standard ISCG-05 tabs. It should work with most guides with the same standard. E13 LG1 comes on complete bikes. You can also use MRP G5 and SXG, or a OneUp Bashguide for minimalism.

  • What cranks can I use?

    The 83mm threaded bottom bracket is made for downhill cranks with a 56-57mm chainline.

  • What's the recommended fork offset?

    Complete bikes have 52mm offset forks for neutral handling.

  • What's the rear spacing?

    157x12 rear hub.

  • Can I change the frame from MX to 29" wheels or vice versa?

    No, the frames are made for specific wheel sizes and can't be converted. Small, medium and large have MX wheels. XL has 29" wheels.

  • Can I try an air shock?

    The leverage curve is made for a coil shock, but you can use DH-oriented air shocks. Just as long as the air valve is correctly oriented.
