2011 Santa Cruz Driver 8
- Size –Ā Medium
This bike had been tuned up and is ready to ride! The Driver 8 was a very well recieved bike from Santa Cruz that was only made from 2009-2011. This one was a full custom build with high end components that wasn’t ridden as much as it should have. Most enduro & downhill bikes from this era have taken quite a beating but this one is a survivor. Combining big suspension, big brakes, big tires, and a solid frame makes for a great ride. Give this bike the life it deserves and go rip it on some downhill
Per Santa Cruz:
Named after the much missed former head dog of Santa Cruz, the Driver 8 is a tough beast to categorize. Combining 8 inches of next generation VPP travel with a solidly built chassis that allows 7 inches of up and down seat adjustment – and well thought out details like a super burly pair of long life, low maintenance pivots, a 1.5″ headtube, an 83mm bottom bracket with ISCG05 mounts, and a 150mm spacing rear end with a Maxle thru-axle – the Driver 8 is a versatile, tough, fun loving, gravity fed wrecking ball. Daily duty DH racer? Park bike? Freeride bike? Heavy duty hucker? Backcountry bomber? Yep.
