SANTA CRUZ SUPERLIGHT D XC Sometimes, Less is More
It was Leonardo Da Vinci who once said "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
While bicycles in general are essentially simple devices, those words ring especially true when considering the Superlight. An exercise in minimalism, it offers 100mm of rear wheel travel through a clean single pivot design that has been optimized and refined for more than a decade now.
This suspension, one of the most copied in the world, is housed in an elegant and lightweight aluminum chassis that handles with confidence and snap. specific.
