Description
It was only a matter of time before the weight and strength benefits we were seeing in our other carbon fiber bikes tempted us to apply the material to the V-10, with the same goals: reduce weight, gain strength. In this instance there was an additional goal: put the prototypes under the Santa Cruz Syndicate riders and go win World Cup Downhill races. Halfway through the 2010 season, the bike pictured here is still a prototype Syndicate frame, the frame weighs a pound less than the aluminum frame it will supercede, and the new V-10c had won two out of three World Cups, finished third once, and was leading the World Cup Overall. Only a prototype, already a winner.

Pros: Lightweight, stiff, and all the adjustments you need (and none of the ones you don't. Super easy to service with grease ports and all.
Cons: None
Recommendation: This is by far the best DH rig I have ridden to date. Super fast, light, and once tuned to your liking, a lively controllable ride. This bike can handle tight twisty technical DH to extreem gnar to super fast berms. When you do have to pedal, the bike holds it's own.
If you have the cash I say go for it.
