Hoping to get some opinions on this deal. I’m looking to buy my first full suspension bike. (Been riding a Trek Marlin 5) Going with a Trail bike as I’m not really at the level to be sending off huge jumps and I like to climb. My local bike shop is selling this 2022 Santa Cruz 5010C R and I want to know if it is actually a good deal or if they are just telling me it is. The specs are below. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Pretty good deal although you’ll probably want to upgrade the drivetrain at some point.
I’ve got this frame and I like it a lot. If you aren’t dead set on 27.5, check out deals on the v5 generation of the 5010.
The 5010 is a good bike, but consider a Tallboy for a good all around trail bike that can climb. Would recommend a model with a group-set higher, which is the CS.
