Overview
About this bike
Nothing beats the acceleration of a hardtail mountain bike and the Santa Cruz Highball C is purpose-built for intense XC pursuits. On this iteration, Santa Cruz shaved half a pound from the weight of the frame and redesigned the seat stay/top tube junction to give you more comfort over the long haul without sacrificing speed. With three water bottle mounts, threaded BB reliability, and internally routed cables, the only thing you'll be concerned about is when to make the turn back home. The Highball R/C build features a no-nonsense mix of components that were chosen for durability, and work together to give you the rocket-like feel only a carbon hardtail can deliver. A remote-actuated Fox 32 Rhythm fork guides you through rough terrain while the WTB wheelset and Maxxis Aspen tires do their part when it's time to grip and rip, and SRAM NX shifting and Level brakes keep you in the zone on blissed-out singletrack.
