The 2011 Carbon Santa Cruz V10 Ridden in Whistler

any more info (and pics) on those handlebars and pedals?

pedals look like canfield brothers crampon pedals:

and I think the handlebars are the new 31 inch edge composite bars.

When will the V10c be for sale in the market?

What's the estimated price?

What's the estimated frame weight with coil shock?

Since there's 8inch mode, does that mean we won't see the Driver8c happening?

And will the Driver8 be discontinued since the carbon V10 has 8inch mode?

Cheers

The shorter mode of travel is actually 8.5", it is an options as some riders are looking for a slightly more ramping, and responsive suspension, or a very forgiving suspension (10"), for gnarly demanding courses…

The driver 8 remains with a different intention.

It's actually 8.5" and 10" according to SC website.

what's the bb height in both 8 and 10 mode, and which mode are the syndicate using?

Syndicate have always been 10", according to product manager on SC website video.

8.5" mode = 14" BB and 63-65 HT
10" mode = 14.6" BB and 64-66 HT

The shorter mode of travel is actually 8.5"

Ah, beat me to it.

hm, those pedals don't come cheap and from the looks of them on their site, the axle part sticks out above the platform part, if this makes sense, isn't that uncomfortable?

is there any more info on those edge bars?
damnit, just got myself the RaceFace Sixc's but these are widerererer… :eek2:

Posted via Mobile Devic. Ha ha ha! Clearly into the brewskies by the end; "We'll both be back with some detailed refections " Great looking bike!

paging partswhore for a ride review…. lucky.

Wow those Edge wheels are expensive. Makes I9s seem downright affordable.

spotted a foursome of these hanging off the railing at the GLC and it was like seeing a celebrity. Sexy bikes, I hope to see them in action later today.
:cool:

Someone has to say it. It's a rotary engine. No pistons. :D

Thanks for the correction. I am aware that the RX7/8 uses a rotary engine - and I knew the 'rotor' isn't actually called a piston (although it serves an analogous function) but it was late, I was overly lubricated and running fast and loose. So I tossed it in there so someone like you could come along and set me straight!

Thanks for the hook up - and for easing me down with a smiley!

Yep I had the priviledge of taking one of these bikes for a burn down Schleyer, Rock City to HOD yesterday. I owned a V10.3 for a year and loved the bike, so I may be biased here a bit. I ride a Podium now.

I can only really give a first impressions type of report as I only had one lap but it was a damn good one! The bike I rode had a CCDB, which I currently ride, 2011 Boxxer World cup, aluminum bar and Formulas. The bike was in 10" mode.

The comments regarding weight making the bike unstable are totally unfounded IMO as I found this to be an absolute non issue. Did it feel flexy or fragile, not even a little bit. I used all the travel on the new stepdown on Schleyer and it worked and held up just fine.

It is a fast machine and I felt instantly at home on it. Could definitely see one as a future steed.

What is that sick looking chain? each plate of the chain has been cut out! Impressive and sure to also be dumbly $$$$!

Podium for sale already then?
