that's amazing that they run demos for just 20 dollars, and then give it back to the trails. It takes a lot of effort and money to maintain a demo fleet!
Just got back into mountain biking last year and just got a killer deal on a 2020 5010. That’s awesome that you still shred at 65! Your post inspired me!
got me one of these as well - best bike I've ever ridden here in the North East. Had an opportunity to rent a 5010 in Las Vegas and rode Blue Canyon (very different terrain than the NE) and it didn't let me down there either.
This video just put a Santa Cruz bike at the top of my MTB shopping list. From the looks of things, Santa Cruz has some very cool and devoted bike enthusiast working for them! Nice shop!
Looks like a very cool place to work, I'm buying my first Santa Cruz and very exited I can help out the local economy. Made in the good ole USA can't go wrong w/ that!! Your bikes have good reputation for being very tuff frames.
Wow, this entire factory is a thing of beauty! I never knew so much effort and love went into each and every bike! Breaks my heart that I'll never be able to afford my own SC bike 😔 Amazing work, guys, much respect 🙏🙏
I upgraded this last year from a 2009 26'er FSMTB that I'd replaced 3 drivetrains in, to a 27.5 Carbon Bronson CC. I've got to say, Santa Cruz makes an amazing bike! It's like having a motor. It's so rigid. And so light! The FOX 36 & Float DPX2 EVOL suspension blew my mind! I also upgraded for the first time to tubeless tires and a dropper seat post. UNREAL difference with those too! I feel like a super human biking machine now!
After watching this you can now understand why bikes are so expensive,a lot of material a lot of people needed to produce a bike loved this tour of your factory
Chris Bautista Santa Cruz skateboards and Santa Cruz bikes are two completely different brands. Even if both are located in California, they are completely different.
@samtb not quite true what you write there. Here’s a cite of Santa Cruz bicycles website faq: Is Santa Cruz Bicycles related to Santa Cruz Skateboards? NHS (Santa Cruz Skate, Snow, Surf) is our sister company. We are both located in Santa Cruz, California. There is some joint partnership, but we are completely separate companies. NHS contact info - NHS, Inc. PO Box 2718 Santa Cruz, CA. 95063-2718
Love the SC factory damn I wish the staff in the UK we're so helpful . When you visit SANTA Cruz Soho Bikes in London and ask a question about your bike like I did about my Bronson CC ,THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE IM STUPID, IM A BMW ENGINEER IM NOT STUPID I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO SET MY BRONSON UP . MAYBE I SHOULD BRING THE BIKE TO USA 🇺🇸 YOU GUYS ARE MORE FRIENDLY
Don't feel bad dude, its like this all over london at most bike shops. Try dropping £20k on a new motorcycle, you will have to fight to get them to take your money.
Lookin to pick up a XXL Hightower in white s+, as my s works stumpjumper xl was broken in a hit and run on broadway in NYC 3 years ago and I have been saving ever since. But family/ Mom health has been worst news possible and it ate a lot of my budget. One day... love your bikes, shop, visuals, branding, geo’s, ethos and mission statement. A great American company!
Cool to see behind the scenes... but no sight of Joe's glorious face?? To me, that dude *IS* Santa Cruz Bikes! Thanks to all the people there at the factory getting it done for the rest of us, it is appreciated :)
They are located in Santa Cruz, Ca. I'm generalizing, but there is a positive attitude towards employees and their welfare that you won't find in other locations where high-pressure tactics benefit the few.
I have a Santa Cruz Branson Carbon C! It's THE BEST BIKE I'VE EVER OWNED!!! IT'S THE TACOMA OF BIKES!! I highly recommend it!! It was a special order so it's good to see where my baby was born! -:) Keep up the good work!!!
Watching this brought a smile to me face.... What an awesome setup and so employee friendly...... hope COVID19 doesn't bring this great operation undone.....
This is why since I started Mtn biking 8 years ago I buy Santa Cruze and I’m on my second one. Started with the Tall Boy and just bought their first electric bike.
thnx for that tour! Although I know work is just work, wherever you are, but working at SC looks special. I am and always was into SC. And wow, a truing machine? Cool, didn't know they automated that process
This is my husband dream bike .. but we cannot afford because is so expensive.. wish one of this day to have my own santa Cruz MTB. God bless... Santa Cruz ... Manufacturing. From. The phillipines.
What an Awesome place to work, Looks like Santa Cruz gives back to its workers and the trails. Great employee facilities. I lived there for 18months about 20years ago Big thumbs up about the poison oak comment. I didnt know what it was and took a tumble and was rolling around in it my buddies were like dude you know what that shit is Hahaha most painful 3weeks of my life after that.
Great video!! Working conditions really look good. Reason capitalism can work if employees treated good but not pampered. Have a 2017 tallboy carbon and use for road biking. Absolutely love it.
