TURN OBSTACLES INTO FEATURES

The 5010 is not just “the little bike” of our range. It makes even the most mundane trails feel like they’re loaded with features to hop, skip and jump over. It’s like having super-skills at your fingertips. The 5010 has always been more capable than many expected but with the traction-gaining 29-inch wheel up front and even more refined suspension the 5010 gives you a deft touch on the trails.

THE TRAIL BIKE THAT LOVES TO PLAY

​​​​Sometimes, quick romps in the backyard can be as epic as backcountry adventures. That’s when you need a bike that helps you make the most of the trails, bringing features to life. The 5010 has been hailed as “the best handling bike ever,” and it might just be your cheat code to gaining superskills.

ALT. MOUNTAIN

NOT JUST A LITTLE BIKE

Some call it short travel, others call it all the travel you'll need. Highly refined suspension kinematics provide predictable support, bottom-out resistance, and a playful demeanor. This means the travel is accessible and bigger impacts aren’t as jarring as you’d expect from a short-travel bike.

“Under an expert it is an incredible toy that allows for ultimate fun. Under a newbie it's just a great all-rounder and a skill building tool.”
“If I had to choose one to own long term, it would be the 5010. The frame feels more robust, the bearing life proved to be much better, the cable routing is a breeze, and you get the added benefit of internal storage.”
“The new 5010 is a bike that makes you feel like an absolute hero when you point it down your favorite tech trail and let rip. And that sounds a lot like the definition of "the best handling trail bike" to me.”
