Ride character of the Santa Cruz v10 29 2020
In size L, the Santa Cruz v10 29 2020 pairs balanced 440 mm chainstays that keep it lively without feeling nervous; a very slack 63.7° head angle built for high-speed and steep descents; a moderate 462 mm reach; a long 1265 mm wheelbase that adds straight-line stability.
Those numbers describe how it steers and sits. How the suspension actually feels, small-bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support and bottom-out ramp, comes down to its leverage and anti-squat curves: see our MTB suspension kinematics guide, and put its geometry head-to-head with any other bike in the geometry comparison tool.
