2013 Bikes - Santa Cruz V10c / Banshee Rune

Seems like there's an increase in the announcement of new bikes recently.

On a side note, the Evil Undead Carbon featured here the last time was actually ridden by Cam Zink in Chatel Mountain Style (just realised it after watching Mountain Bike Chronicles again).

Ok back to the topic where there are several new bikes on the rising, 2 of em that caught my attention will definitely be the new Santa Cruz V10c and Banshee Rune.

The new banshee rune looks pretty sweet, with a rear travel of 160mm, is more than what you will need to ride any terrain available in Singapore. It also has a version for the 650B wheels, seems like those wheels are gaining popularity, however I've never had the chance to try them yet, and on magazines the review states that there isn't a noticeable difference from the usual 26" wheels that we're used to.

Another bike that really caught my attention would definitely be the Santa Cruz V10 Carbon. There are much criticism about its frame looking retro, ugly and stuff, but hey! Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, to me it's pretty damn chio (gorgeous in the Hokkien dialect).

And here's a video introduction of it.


God, I've been a good boy this year, and I'll be stoked if Santa Claus hook me up with the Santa Cruz this X'mas :p
