In development with the Syndicate since early 2013, the arrival of 27.5” wheels marks a sea change in the V10’s evolution. We wrung full potential out of the new wheel standard before unveiling it at the races. The restraint paid off, and the new V10 vacuumed up a 2014 World Cup title and a World Champs medal within weeks its release.
Drawing on feedback from Peat, Minnaar, and Bryceland on their personal settings, the 6th generation of our flagship model now offers 216mm / 8.5” of travel in two adjustable geometry positions, and the shock rate has been tuned to deliver more consistent damping throughout the travel.
Carbon lay-up analysis and frame shape optimization allowed for more efficient use of material, and the savings were then reinvested into other areas to ensure the bike withstands Ratboy’s huge flat landings, and it benefits from a slightly longer reach to suit evolving rider preferences. As if a complete redesign weren’t enough, we’ve also introduced the new Carbon C frame with a Zee build kit. This build puts V10 performance within reach of more riders than ever before, lifting the race pace of World Cup athletes and privateers alike.
