that's amazing that they run demos for just 20 dollars, and then give it back to the trails. It takes a lot of effort and money to maintain a demo fleet!
Just got back into mountain biking last year and just got a killer deal on a 2020 5010. That’s awesome that you still shred at 65! Your post inspired me!
got me one of these as well - best bike I've ever ridden here in the North East. Had an opportunity to rent a 5010 in Las Vegas and rode Blue Canyon (very different terrain than the NE) and it didn't let me down there either.
This video just put a Santa Cruz bike at the top of my MTB shopping list. From the looks of things, Santa Cruz has some very cool and devoted bike enthusiast working for them! Nice shop!
I upgraded this last year from a 2009 26'er FSMTB that I'd replaced 3 drivetrains in, to a 27.5 Carbon Bronson CC. I've got to say, Santa Cruz makes an amazing bike! It's like having a motor. It's so rigid. And so light! The FOX 36 & Float DPX2 EVOL suspension blew my mind! I also upgraded for the first time to tubeless tires and a dropper seat post. UNREAL difference with those too! I feel like a super human biking machine now!
Chris Bautista Santa Cruz skateboards and Santa Cruz bikes are two completely different brands. Even if both are located in California, they are completely different.
@samtb not quite true what you write there. Here’s a cite of Santa Cruz bicycles website faq: Is Santa Cruz Bicycles related to Santa Cruz Skateboards?

Wow, this entire factory is a thing of beauty! I never knew so much effort and love went into each and every bike! Breaks my heart that I'll never be able to afford my own SC bike 😔 Amazing work, guys, much respect 🙏🙏
Looks like a very cool place to work, I'm buying my first Santa Cruz and very exited I can help out the local economy. Made in the good ole USA can't go wrong w/ that!! Your bikes have good reputation for being very tuff frames.
After watching this you can now understand why bikes are so expensive,a lot of material a lot of people needed to produce a bike loved this tour of your factory
Love the SC factory damn I wish the staff in the UK we're so helpful . When you visit SANTA Cruz Soho Bikes in London and ask a question about your bike like I did about my Bronson CC ,THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE IM STUPID, IM A BMW ENGINEER IM NOT STUPID I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO SET MY BRONSON UP . MAYBE I SHOULD BRING THE BIKE TO USA 🇺🇸 YOU GUYS ARE MORE FRIENDLY
Don't feel bad dude, its like this all over london at most bike shops. Try dropping £20k on a new motorcycle, you will have to fight to get them to take your money.
They are located in Santa Cruz, Ca. I'm generalizing, but there is a positive attitude towards employees and their welfare that you won't find in other locations where high-pressure tactics benefit the few.
Lookin to pick up a XXL Hightower in white s+, as my s works stumpjumper xl was broken in a hit and run on broadway in NYC 3 years ago and I have been saving ever since. But family/ Mom health has been worst news possible and it ate a lot of my budget. One day... love your bikes, shop, visuals, branding, geo’s, ethos and mission statement. A great American company!
Cool to see behind the scenes... but no sight of Joe's glorious face?? To me, that dude *IS* Santa Cruz Bikes! Thanks to all the people there at the factory getting it done for the rest of us, it is appreciated :)
I have a Santa Cruz Branson Carbon C! It's THE BEST BIKE I'VE EVER OWNED!!! IT'S THE TACOMA OF BIKES!! I highly recommend it!! It was a special order so it's good to see where my baby was born! -:) Keep up the good work!!!
This is why since I started Mtn biking 8 years ago I buy Santa Cruze and I’m on my second one. Started with the Tall Boy and just bought their first electric bike.
This is my husband dream bike .. but we cannot afford because is so expensive.. wish one of this day to have my own santa Cruz MTB. God bless... Santa Cruz ... Manufacturing. From. The phillipines.
Watching this brought a smile to me face.... What an awesome setup and so employee friendly...... hope COVID19 doesn't bring this great operation undone.....
thnx for that tour! Although I know work is just work, wherever you are, but working at SC looks special. I am and always was into SC. And wow, a truing machine? Cool, didn't know they automated that process
What an Awesome place to work, Looks like Santa Cruz gives back to its workers and the trails. Great employee facilities. I lived there for 18months about 20years ago Big thumbs up about the poison oak comment. I didnt know what it was and took a tumble and was rolling around in it my buddies were like dude you know what that shit is Hahaha most painful 3weeks of my life after that.
Great video!! Working conditions really look good. Reason capitalism can work if employees treated good but not pampered. Have a 2017 tallboy carbon and use for road biking. Absolutely love it.
I used to machine, form, weld, anneal and straighten frames in 2002 for SC. In Portland Oregon. This place only does final assembly. I wonder where frames are fabricated today. Any clue? Bueller ??????????
*Great frame and lightweight. **Latest.Bike** components were well adjusted out of the box. Great entry level bike for light off road use.*
that's amazing that they run demos for just 20 dollars, and then give it back to the trails. It takes a lot of effort and money to maintain a demo fleet!
great idea regarding the employees who ride to work can earn credits towards upgrades etc, love to know more
My lbs does it for kids 14 only
Bought a 5010 carbon 5 years ago for my 60th birthday and just love it to bits best bike I have ever bought
Gary david I just got one in carbon and I love it
Just got back into mountain biking last year and just got a killer deal on a 2020 5010. That’s awesome that you still shred at 65! Your post inspired me!
@@sksinha1 I still manage about 100 km half of that off road a week, you just got to keep going no pain no gain
got me one of these as well - best bike I've ever ridden here in the North East. Had an opportunity to rent a 5010 in Las Vegas and rode Blue Canyon (very different terrain than the NE) and it didn't let me down there either.
So awesome. I've been in the front showroom area a million times but never knew all that was going on in back.

Just bought a Bronson C a month ago, loving it! Wish all company's did so much for there employee's!!!
Pawel C cool man I got the CC on Saturday it's a great bike but I hate the hope hub 😢😢😢😢
Is It too loud?
I bought one too second hand few months ago and in love as well. Enjoy shredding the trails Pawel!
Hope is Great but Onyx makes a hub that makes no noise, great for UA-camrs that make content. $$$
@@Cartsp70 I know what you mean. I bought a set of i9 wheels and the hub is so loud, people get mad haha
This video just put a Santa Cruz bike at the top of my MTB shopping list. From the looks of things, Santa Cruz has some very cool and devoted bike enthusiast working for them! Nice shop!
i was thinking the same thing. i will, at a min., put them on the compare list.

🤩 I never knew Santa Cruz also makes bikes. Since the brand isn’t sold in my country. So you can now buy a Santa Cruz 🛹 🚲

I am happy visiting you. See you next Santa Cruz Bike, greeting from Indonesia.
Do employees get disciplined for failure to wear a snap back hat?
Wow, this entire factory is a thing of beauty! I never knew so much effort and love went into each and every bike! Breaks my heart that I'll never be able to afford my own SC bike 😔
Amazing work, guys, much respect 🙏🙏

Not entirely in USA. You see the aluminum frames are shipped in.
@HWG-wm8ld Not now, where talking 5yrs+ ago. Everything made in Taiwan and China. On the bright side lifetime warranty! That hasn't changed👍
After watching this you can now understand why bikes are so expensive,a lot of material a lot of people needed to produce a bike loved this tour of your factory
Wow. What a bunch of smiley, happy people work there!
I wouldn't mind working there looks like they enjoy what they are doing.
a dream bike that will always be a dream for me.
i love those black and red combinations..it really rocks..
Simply awesome. No wonder why these bikes are expensive. Real people work there and it takes time and skills to build a proper bicycle.

Paul Cartwright cool, what parts do you engineer?
What is the problem with ya bike 🚲?
Don't feel bad dude, its like this all over london at most bike shops. Try dropping £20k on a new motorcycle, you will have to fight to get them to take your money.
I wish we even had a proper Santa Cruz retailer here in Belgium :/
If I decide to buy one some day, I don't even know where to go.
@@MrKinir you can't afford one so you won't have to worry about that.
"... also lets us employ more people.." what a refreshing change in these days of " sack'em all ", this guy knows you can't sell things to robots.
They are located in Santa Cruz, Ca. I'm generalizing, but there is a positive attitude towards employees and their welfare that you won't find in other locations where high-pressure tactics benefit the few.
As a Santa Cruz owner I’m stoked at how many human hands my bike passed through…but also a little bummed I didn’t get to meet Mike and John!
omg, I'd love to be a bike builder for santa cruz. This supermarket isle is a dream!
Lookin to pick up a XXL Hightower in white s+, as my s works stumpjumper xl was broken in a hit and run on broadway in NYC 3 years ago and I have been saving ever since.

I only watched this today and I really love to work here someday. Its by far the coolest bike facility I have seen.
My dream is to come and visit SC one day, and I am adding a visit to your factory to the itinerary! Can’t wait 😎
Cool to see behind the scenes... but no sight of Joe's glorious face?? To me, that dude *IS* Santa Cruz Bikes! Thanks to all the people there at the factory getting it done for the rest of us, it is appreciated :)
Really great seeing what happens behind the scenes. It makes me appreciate my SC Blur that much more!
I just bought a Chameleon R. Thank you for the tour!!!
I have a Santa Cruz Branson Carbon C! It's THE BEST BIKE I'VE EVER OWNED!!! IT'S THE TACOMA OF BIKES!! I highly recommend it!! It was a special order so it's good to see where my baby was born! -:) Keep up the good work!!!
Loved the VIdeo and how open they are to show their workflows. Love mine
Got a tallboy 3 al about a month ago, loving it so far. By far my favorite bike brand
everyone looking at the camera like wtf hahahahah looks like a dream to work there for a bike enthusiast, great video
You’re totally right. The conditions look excellent. I like the fact that they have a “no cellphones allowed” policy in their break room.
@@KunaevNS did they really.. fuck man. i think it looks like a shithole to work in
Santa Cruz hasn’t opponents anymore , is miles away from other mtb companies ! ONLY SANTA CRUZ 🖤!
santa cruz for life
This is why since I started Mtn biking 8 years ago I buy Santa Cruze and I’m on my second one. Started with the Tall Boy and just bought their first electric bike.
This is my husband dream bike .. but we cannot afford because is so expensive.. wish one of this day to have my own santa Cruz MTB. God bless... Santa Cruz ... Manufacturing. From. The phillipines.
I love this bike! From Philippines...
Much respect for using manual labor to build your products.. Really persuading me to do a V10 over the big S’s Demo.
A very nice n clean factory shop .good job BIKESANTACRUZ
Thanks for the tour.!! SCB looks like the above average company with fantastic benefits..!! Very Coooool..!
interesting glimpse , thanks . Hey guys it's time for a long travel V.10 for the trail . You can call it The " trail burner " .
Frame fabrication occurs in China and Taiwan. Bicycles are assembled in Santa Cruz.
Awesome tour !! I look forward to seeing it myself someday and maybe demo a bike :)
Cool video, thanks for the peek behind the scenes. I’ve got a 5010 c that I love and ride nearly every day its not raining.
This is one of the best Factory tours I've ever seen. I would work there for free just to get the knowledge. Thanks
You must have not seen many factory tours, because this one blows. Calling this a "factory" is a huge stretch.
looks like a fantastic place to work, thanks for the tour
Cool video, thanks for the tour!
Wow my dream bike SANTACRUZ DOWN HILL GOD BLESS SANTACRUZ
These bikes are worth every penny!
Just bought a NOMAD 4 CARBON looks sick af🤣 thanks santa cruz for making thia awesome bike frame!
Nice bike dude
Watching this brought a smile to me face.... What an awesome setup and so employee friendly...... hope COVID19 doesn't bring this great operation undone.....
Nice, looks and feels like a great company.
More respect for Santa Cruz bikes after watching this.
thnx for that tour! Although I know work is just work, wherever you are, but working at SC looks special. I am and always was into SC. And wow, a truing machine? Cool, didn't know they automated that process
Very informative video, a high end factory. a guy in the machine shop had a picture of WWF "George the Animal Steel" on his cabinet,
Nice factory tour. Workshop with the CNC and lathe are a bit messy. Absolutely love the VW pickup, by Pon.
Here is our locker room where we keep the half naked employees.
You've spoilt the surprise. Shame on you.
What? Where? Rewind, rewind. Lol🤩
Very cool. Getting my first SC bike tomorrow . Excited. Nice tour . Your workers made Santa's helpers look like lazy slugs.
I'd love to work there
Are you here legally?
Awesome next time on Santa Cruz I’m visiting the shop store
Truing machine is sick
Damn makes everything love the bike even more
Wow..you guys do it right..ill be buying a Santa Cruz.im bring it by
Wish my freaking bike would get here all ready!!!! I ordered it over a month ago!!!
Just viewed your video tour. Well done and much appreciated.
That is one amazing VW flat bed !!
yo thats a sick factory
Wow! Those FULSUS is really amazing😍
Santa Cruz used to make awesome awesome skate boards
I'd love to work at a place like Santa Cruze, but I didn't hear where they are located? After all , I think I am becoming addicted to bicycling.
theyre in Santa Cruz California
Thank you for the tour sir, i hope someday i may travel there and make an actual tour
Your shop looks awesome. Keep up the great work.
This would be a great Lean Six Sigma location to do a bit of streamlining
12:02 wtf...AMAZING CUSTOM BIKE!!!!
Incredible
So great that you build them here!
Imagine if you walk in front of the factory and you meet the boss then he's said "choice anything you want in here" 😊😁😁😂 hihihi how happy live.
Dayum!!! Wolf oven/stoves?
My dream mtb Santa Cruz
What an Awesome place to work, Looks like Santa Cruz gives back to its workers and the trails. Great employee facilities.

I didnt know what it was and took a tumble and was rolling around in it my buddies were like dude you know what that shit is Hahaha most painful 3weeks of my life after that.
I wanna work for Santa Cruz. would be the best job ever!!
The bikes are assembled and boxed in Santa Cruz. But are the parts and frame made in the U.S.?
Looks like a cool place to work for......
so not actually a factory but rather a mere assembly line...
Thats my dreamm bike sir Santa Cruz I really love that bike sir
Awesome tour! Great company!
Great video!! Working conditions really look good. Reason capitalism can work if employees treated good but not pampered. Have a 2017 tallboy carbon and use for road biking. Absolutely love it.
I wish i get one of those bikes.
My dream build bikes.
Very Nice Video....A Santa Cruz may be in my future !
I used to machine, form, weld, anneal and straighten frames in 2002 for SC. In Portland Oregon.
This place only does final assembly.
I wonder where frames are fabricated today. Any clue? Bueller ??????????
Wow amazing.. Is there any possibilities that santa cruz bikes bring here in the philippines specially mountain bikes&road bikes in the market?
Must be so cool to work there.
No joke,, very seriously business, even so its all about having fun ,, very impress 👍😄🚴♂️🚴♂️🇲🇽🇲🇽
My 2019 Bronson is due in this weekend. i wonder which one they were working on is mine!! Lol
This tour made me think that maybe my dream is to be a bike mechanic in there too.
Would have loved to see how the frames are constructed
Update your passport and book a flight to Taiwan
this is assembly line, but where do they get their hardware from? eg. the frames
Es la misma empresa SANTA CRUZ BICYCLES y SANTA CRUZ SKATEBOARDS?????
Iv'e never heard anything good about santa cruz bike co. Wish they were a cool company.
We definitely don’t receive the SC boxes as neatly laid out in the UK, as I saw in this video.
Where is the factory??? Only assembly is shown!!!,
Great video! an amazing factory!!
¡ How much does a worker earn per month in that factory?I am a bicycle manufacturer in Argentina!!
