The 5010 transforms obstacles into modules. An extraordinary feeling of maneuverability combined with stunning dynamism will give the most classic outings a whole new flavor. It will give you the impression of knowing at your fingertips each new spot where you will ride.
The 27.5 is the wheel size that offers the most fun. Smaller wheels give the feeling of a bike that responds to the finger and the eye, whether it's jumping from corner to corner or flying over a series of roots. The 5010 has become the essential model for riders looking to progress at all levels or simply to exploit the slightest spot.
It's a bike that exceeds what its numbers would suggest. The 140mm fork combined with the 130mm of the rear, developed by the VPP™ "Lower-Link" configuration, gives the impression of having much more travel than there really is. It's up to you how you let it express itself. And the creativity of this model does not stop there since you can mount all types of shock absorbers, including those with springs.
The relatively slack head angle gives optimum control and stability. The low bottom bracket allows for rail-like turning and the short chainstays allow this toy to swing from side to side of the path you'll be riding.
It doesn't matter if you're a big kid or not, the bike grows with you! We have adapted the geometry so that each frame size has different chainstay lengths and the particularly low frame height will make you feel like you are on the BMX of your childhood! Ok, we may be a little nostalgic on this one, but one thing is certain, the 5010 is certainly an ideal entry point to reach heights where only a mountain bike can take you.
