Wanna see what you can do with the same bike as three-time World Champion downhiller Greg Minaar? If you act fast, you could do just that.
Santa Cruz has released 25 replica V10 complete with hometown paint scheme, all built on the same stock V10 frame he used to win the finals in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in September. Build spec mirrors his sponsorship deals, with custom 808mm wide ENVE MinaarBar, shortened Shimano cassette, Burgtec stem and more from Chris King, Gamut and Maxxis.
Two of them were spoken for at the brand’s Christmas party, the other 23 are en route to shops and distributors. Ready to send your savings downhill just as fast Minaar falls through the trail? Drop in and see what $11,000 gets you, then contact your local Santa Cruz dealer and have them order it up before they’re all gone…
