The bread-and-butter bike that put Santa Cruz Bicycles on the map has seen major design revisions and lots of evolutionary changes. In addition to the Superlight’s refinements, the bike’s build kit options have been expanded to include the affordable $1699 complete bike that we test here.
After 2 years of R&D, we've released our newest addition to the line up. The VF2 - complete with 5" of buttery smooth travel, an incredibly stiff chassis, and a fully active suspension - this frame offers all of the performance characteristics CHUMBA is known for in a suprisingly light-weight package. Offering state-of-the-art features such as an asymmetrical carbon chainstay yoke and proprietary hydroformed tubing for efficient stress distribution and torsional rigidity - this frame is engineered with only two things in mind - jaw-dropping performance and stunning looks.
Build it up however you want - as an all-duty trail bike, or for epic days in the backcountry. Whatever you have in mind for the VF2 - it will be sure to put a smile on your face.
Funn's stand stood out at the Taichung Bike Week earlier this month for two reasons – the pretty Taiwanese models manning it, and the company's new 'custom wrap' designs.
