It has the magical ability to turn even the most ordinary trails into an adventure, filled with enticing opportunities to leap, skip, and bound. It's as if you possess superhuman skills right at your fingertips. The 5010 has consistently exceeded expectations with its inherent capability, and now, thanks to the added grip from the 29-inch front wheel and further enhanced suspension, it provides you with a refined finesse on the trails.

Frame Sizing

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
