About this product
The 2024 Santa Cruz 5010 5 C GX AXS evo Exclusive is a mixed-wheel trail bike built around a carbon C frame that adds only approximately 250 to 280 grams over the higher-grade CC version, while sharing the same manufacturing facility and techniques for equivalent strength and stiffness. Suspension duties are handled by Santa Cruz's lower-link mounted VPP system, which uses two short links rotating in opposite directions to allow precise tuning of shock rates across the travel range. The setup runs 140mm of front travel paired with 130mm rear travel, with a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear (size XS uses 27.5-inch on both ends). An integrated flip chip allows riders to switch between high and low geometry settings. The downtube houses the Glovebox storage compartment, which includes a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse for organized trail-side access. Internal brake and dropper cable routing keeps the cockpit clean, and molded rubber protection covers the swingarm and downtube. Dropper post spec varies by size, from a Fox Transfer SL with 100mm drop on XS to the SDG Tellis on Small through Large and the OneUp V3 on XL and above.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the 2024 Santa Cruz 5010 Gen 5 for its exceptional playfulness, agility, and fun-focused trail character. The mullet wheel setup (29-inch front, 27.5-inch rear) earns widespread approval for combining rollover capability with a quick, poppy rear end. Experts highlight the VPP suspension as smooth and confidence-inspiring, rarely producing harsh bottom-outs, and note that the bike is a surprisingly capable and efficient climber on technical terrain. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless drivetrain and the evo-exclusive Industry Nine wheelset and G2 RS brakes are called out as strong component choices. The most common criticism is that the 5010 is not the fastest-rolling option compared to full 29-inch bikes, and its premium price point is frequently flagged. Some reviewers note the glovebox storage adds noticeable weight over the previous generation.
