Quality since 1994

Die US-amerikanische Kultschmiede Santa Cruz bietet allen Mountainbikern, denen maximale Fahreffizienz ebenso wichtig ist wie höchster Fahrspaß, ein breites Sortiment an hochwertigen Bikes an. Um das zu erzielen, bilden edelste Materialien und modernste Technologien eine perfekt agierende Symbiose, die jedem Fahrer das Erreichen eines neuen Fahrlevels ermöglicht. Das von Santa Cruz angebotene Portfolio reicht vom schlanken Cyclo-Cross Rad bis zum World Cup tauglichen Downhill Geschoss.

Santa Cruz setzt bei der Hinterbau-Federung auf die revolutionäre VPP Technologie. VPP steht für Virtual Pivot Point und zeichnet sich durch ein sehr sensibles Ansprechverhalten und einen nahezu wippfreien Vortrieb beim Pedalieren aus. Erreicht wird der sogenannte virtuelle Drehpunkt mittels zweier Lager zwischen Kettenstrebe und Rahmen. Das VPP Federungskonzept von Santa Cruz zählt zum Besten, was der Markt zu bieten hat. Bergauf wie bergab gewährleistet das System beste Performance und Effizienz. Kein Wunder also, dass die US-amerikanische Marke auch im Radrennsport regelmäßig Erfolge einfährt! Sowohl Greg Minaar als auch das Enduro Nomad Team siegen weltweit auf Santa Cruz Bikes!

Bei der Herstellung der Rahmen findet bei Santa Cruz hochwertiges Aluminium oder feinstes Carbon Verwendung. Die Carbon-Rahmen werden in zwei Varianten angeboten: C-Carbon oder CC-Carbon – letzteres erlaubt den Bau von Rahmen mit einem noch geringeren Gewicht. Die preislich günstigeren Rahmen aus C-Carbon sind zwar etwas schwerer, bezüglich der Anforderungen und der Steifigkeit müssen dabei aber keinerlei Kompromisse eingegangen werden. Auch bei den Lagern ist Santa Cruz den meisten Konkurrenten einen großen Schritt voraus. So gewährleisten die verbauten Schrägkugellager maximale Steifigkeit. Doppelt abgedichtete Kugellager garantieren eine lange Lebensdauer der Lager und ungetrübten Fahrspaß auf lange Zeit. Für eine einfache Wartung spendiert Santa Cruz den hochwertigen VPP-Modellen zudem zwei Schmiernippel am Unterlenker.
