Overview
About this bike
Nothing beats the acceleration of a hardtail mountain bike and the Santa Cruz Highball CC is purpose-built to dominate 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 XX1 Reserve is the dream build, with SRAM's XX1 Eagle drivetrain, Level Ultimate brakes, and Santa Cruz' own Reserve 25 Carbon rims mated to DT Swiss 240 hubs. A remote-actuated Fox 32 Factory fork glides effortlessly through rough terrain, giving you a stable platform for executing your wildest fast-paced mountain bike goals.
