Santa Cruz Factory Tour with Greg Minnaar [Episode 1 of 4]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2024
- Four-time downhill World Champion Greg Minnaar has been racing for Santa Cruz Bicycles since 2008. So when he told us that he didn’t know what goes into building the bikes he rides we knew we had a job for him. In this four-part series, Greg visits the Factory in Santa Cruz, CA where we design, engineer, test, validate, assemble and package every Santa Cruz bike.
Greg doesn’t get the VIP treatment, though. Instead, he’s coached by the real bike building champions and actually gets his hands dirty to bring some bikes to life.
In part one, Greg gets the lay of the land, explains his true motivation for becoming a professional bike racer, assembles a link, and discovers the depth of what happens and the people behind it in Santa Cruz, CA.
• About Santa Cruz Bikes •
Santa Cruz Bicycles creates category-leading downhill, cross country, and electric bikes, but the company is best known for models that combine the same pedalability and descending prowess the OG Tazmon brought to the table. We design, research, engineer, manufacture and assemble the very highest quality bikes. We do most of this ourselves in Santa Cruz, CA. Our bikes are so simply advanced that they perform at the highest level and are made to last many lifetimes of real world abuse.

I'm new to using Santa Cruz, and I have to say I love this bikes.
I feel both informed AND entertained. Great job Greg & Santa cruz!
Greg having his mindblown by the broomstick holders has got to be the highlight for me. Can't wait for the next episode.
The screen caption on that part was gold.
BRAVO SJAJNO. PUNO USPEHA U DALJEM RADU 👍👍🚴♀️🚴♀️🥇🇷🇸
This was awesome and hilarious! Thank you for sharing this with us!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Og’s know this a repost from a few hours ago
Great video. Surprisingly funny!! Will definitely watch the rest of the series.
Awesome, thank you!
Great tour!! Love my Hightower!!
A bit of tape on your screen will solve that problem.
Waiting for my bike parts to arrive and binging on videos like this
Look forward to the rest parts of the factory tour.
“This is not Greg’s first day on earth” 😂
...[Shrug]
I still ride my superlights. One from 21 years ago. The other that I built from used parts about 12 years ago.
sweet :) we want MOAR!
This is Epidsode.1 of a 4-part series. Stay tuned!
Love the tour!
Super good tour !
I literally spat out my chili laughing at Greg's comment about the clear cassette discs lol!!!
Those things are the worst!
How’s the bikes painted and where? What’s the process?
Well that was great. Could easily be longer.
Part.1 of a 4 Part series. Stay tuned!
I love santacruz my dream bike😍😍 👍👍👍👍
We love you too.
Wow would like to visit that showroom someday, hoped my bullit cc xo1 came with a golden ticket to sc HQ
What happened to the original video????? Why the repost
Spotted a glitch so reloaded a new file.
"Holy Cross" Bikes!😂
nice, but I've been waiting for a frame from the claim for a year..in the EU
Hi Santa Cruz, why has it taken so long for SC product to be available at official distributor store in Indonesia in the last few years?
It's been hard to get product available anywhere in the last few years. We apologize but things are looking up.
Went there to buy a bike. Nice show room. But the two guys behind the counter were busy with the internet. Long story short, we got blown off. Drove away without buying a bike. Nice show room though. Went to a Specialized (Cycle Sport) where they were awesome.
We don't actually sell direct out of the showroom, but we can help direct that sale through the nearest dealer for you.
Apologies that you didn't get the service you expected.
Any rough date on release & price of new V10 ? Would love to see the Carbon V10 being made. This was posted yest. Why the repost?
We spotted a typo.
The V10 is available right now. Go see your local dealer. However, the V10.8 you might have seen the Syndicate testing is still a way off. They've got to put it to the test on the WC circuit first.
@@santacruzbicycles2841 OK cool. Will give me time to save for the new V10.8. I have 2 already. 2018 XXL Blue Mint & a 2020 XL Battleship Grey.
I don't own a Santa Cruz but the only complaint about them is from poor people who can't afford one. They make great bikes. They just don't make any entry level bikes only high end which there is nothing wrong with that. Some of the best frames in the market which is the most important part of the bike.
I’m 48 years old in South Carolina! I’m going to retire (tire) one day and hang out with yall 😊
Come hang anytime. Check the site for Factory Store open hours and set yourself up with a demo bike to ride while you're here.
I feel like this could have been a much longer video. So do all SC bikes go through America and then get shipped out, or does say the UK have a similar facility where bikes are built up like this. Shipping fully built bikes made in the USA to the UK sounds crazy when they could just be built in Taiwan or similar and probably a lot cheaper than American wages.
First i dont ride SC but i believe they want to control every step of a build - i believe SC have their OWN factory somewhere in asia.
The QC is generally very high on SC bikes because of being done in USA
I would like to see more about their design work and testing; How do they find their way to a new bike ["they all look the same - but in detail they don't!"); Why 27,5" Why mullet; Why 29" ... I ahve some stuff from Specialized now - what a mistake!
This is Epidsode.1 of a 4-part series. Stay tuned for many of the details you are asking about.

Lots of this same type of content in there 👍
Sorry, this content is good but the linky popup and the chromatic aberration FX are a bit too overkill.
Good feedback. It's all subjective.
VR man! 4:32
Orange Frame? New Bronson?
Some regions do have salmon Bronson as a color option now. www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-CA/bikes/bronson-4-1?color=Sockeye%20Sal
Not a fan of the Linky pop-up. Annoying and distracting from the main content.
2 years waiting time (paid) and my bicycle has not been served by Santa Cruz distributor in the Philippines. Regret the decision
WTF is a British Yard? Are you guys making up units of measurement now?
Google it. It's true. 220 yards make up a furlong.
@@santacruzbicycles2841 Yes a furlong is 220 yards. A yard is 36 inches...same as it is in America. Do I suspect you dont use the term 'Yard' in America? It's an imperial measurement same as Stones in weight old chap
and British pounds (lbs), WTF is an American pound? I know their Gallons differ, but that’s about it, AFAIK.
Weird, mine says made in Taiwan.
Aluminum = Made in Taiwan
Io sono innamoratissimo della mia bullit ma vi scongiuro cambiate motore... tutto ma non Shimano
We know they made in china
We're very open about that. But while the frames (and components) are, we're one of the few brands assembling the entire bicycle ourselves. It's this assembly that makes a huge difference to the quality of the bicycle.
Certainly an arrogant pair. I did not expect the Santa Cruz factory tour to be about those two.
Frames from china?
Yes, our carbon facilities are located in china.
Part 1511 is for pacifiers. Its literally called a pacifier.
