Pop, Play, Repeat – Built to Turn Every Trail Into a Playground

The Santa Cruz 5010 GX AXS Reserve takes playful trail riding to the next level. Designed around a mixed wheel setup—29" up front for rollover confidence and 27.5" out back for whip-happy handling—this fifth-generation 5010 is sharper, more capable, and more fun than ever.

With 140mm of front travel and 130mm of VPP™ rear suspension, the 5010 thrives on techy singletrack, flow trails, and everything in between. Add the wireless shifting of SRAM GX AXS and bombproof Reserve carbon wheels, and you’ve got a bike that begs to be boosted, pumped, and cornered hard.
