2022 Santa Cruz V10 CC Oxblood Reserve Dream DH - Bike Check

Marking a milestone here with this one. When I 1st started I never dreamed that at some day this will be my 50th - Bike Check - video. Yet here it is, the 50th one on the - Bike Check - playlist. To try and make it even more special, had to choose something that is not an Ordinary MTB. I think I managed to nail this task with the " ol mighty" Santa Cruz V10. The DH MTB that speaks volumes, the one that is so desired by every single one of you, me included. To top it off, this is a custom built from Frame up, featuring the renewed Reserve Carbon rims with the loudest hubs in the market, the Industry NINE Hydra's. The magic carpet feeling provided by FOX Factory Suspensions with 2025 Fox DHX2 shock and the 2025 Fox 40's 29inch Grip X2 fork. Motion powered by Sram DH X01 with Hope Eva DH 165mm cranks. Stopping is provided by Hope Tech4 V4 brakes with 203mm rotors. Contact point provide by Burgtrec with Ergon Saddle.

This was a bit over £12.000 to build it up to this spec. Mental money but if you look at it and you ride it, you know it's well worth it.
