V10 8 CC Frame

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve built a few V10 frames now and it never disappoints. The geometry adjustments make it super easy to fine-tune for different tracks, and the new internal routing makes setup clean. I always spec it with a coil shock for that buttery feel—just pick your wheels and fork, and you’ve got a world-class DH sled."

When we’re building a bike to race, float through rock gardens, and fly over gaps without hesitation, we start with the V10 CC Mountain Bike Frame. With a full 208mm of rear travel and an updated VPP™ layout, it’s engineered to deliver maximum traction and composure on even the steepest, loosest terrain. This is the frame trusted by the Santa Cruz Syndicate, and now it's ready for our own dream builds.

The V10 CC frame features internal cable tunnels, a threaded 83mm bottom bracket shell, and replaceable headset cups with ±8mm reach adjustment for personalized fit and control. The 12x157mm rear axle uses a flip chip to fine-tune chainstay length for either tighter handling or greater stability at speed. The frame is compatible with coil and air shocks (230x65), includes ISCG-05 tabs for chain guide setup, and accepts dual-crown forks with 203mm travel. With a lifetime warranty and a legacy of race wins behind it, the V10 frame is ready to go as fast as we can take it.

Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
