On September 1st 2013, Greg Minnaar won a third World Championship title, on a stock Santa Cruz V10 downhill frame in front of his home crowd in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
To celebrate his back-to-back gold medals, Santa Cruz created a limited edition Minnaar V10 replica of which only 25 will be made, 23 of which will be planted at select locations around the World. Introduced at the Santa Cruz Christmas party on December 14 by Rob Warner, the man who commentated on Greg's Worlds run, 2 of the bikes were immediately spoken for onsite.

The bikes have a totally unique build, born from Greg’s collaboration with Syndicate race mechanics and team partners. From the aesthetics, such as one-off frame, wheel, fork, and saddle graphics, down to the specifics such as the 808mm wide Special Edition ENVE Minnaarbar and cut down Shimano 7-speed 11-19 cassette. Equipped with stock Fox suspension and Shimano Saint groupset, the Minnaar V10 Replica is perfected with Chris King components, Burgtec stem, Gamut chain device and Maxxis Minion DHR II tires.
Each bike also comes complete with a limited edition O’Neal Rainbow Stripes Minnaar replica jersey, made specifically to accompany the bike.

Just my opinion but I think the bike would have looked a lot better if the frame were green with some other details in the RSA flag colours. The black frame with flag decals looks, dare I say, tacky? That said, the V10c is one hell of a bike!

I highly doubt he ran a steel coil it was pietermartizberg after all guys were saving weight left right and center. He would have saved like 300 grams going ti.

Regardless of if he ran steel or ti, or if there could be better RSA colour options, if I was going to spend 11k on a replica I'd want Steves UK model.

Holy Moly, I want that!!! Who do I have to kill??

A ccdb air would be awesome for that price or at least a titanium spring.
But I like the green decals only, the other dots and stuff not so much, it's too much!!

But still a nice looking bike, maybe not everyone's thing.

I reckon they should chuck in the optional extra of buying a replica of his Nelson Mandela tribute full face as a kind of memorial.
