Seven Super Sexy Santa Cruz Solos 3

We're always going to call them Solos. You may know them as the Santa Cruz 5010. When Santa Cruz originally introduced the trail-blitzing machines, they were called Solo. There was some kind of copyright issue and Santa Cruz couldn't use the name Solo, so they swapped the S and L out for a 5 and 1. Clever. Without further ado, here are seven singletrack-ripping beauties courtesy of Vital MTB members and their Bike Check entries.

Vital member, alecwoolie, has his 5010 ready for some serious downhill shredding. A FOX DHX2 coil shock, FOX 36 fork and Specialized Butcher 2.6-inch front tire makes this red beauty prime for gobbling up the high-speed hits.
