Overview

About this bike

Santa Cruz's Highball does two things: 1) Race. 2) Win. The full-carbon 29er frame weighs a mere 2.4 pounds yet is a heavyweight out on the trails. Even if you never race it, you gotta love the frame stiffness and the shortness of the rear end; this thing wheelies and slashes corners with ease. A low bottom bracket height, dialed head angle, and proven geometry makes it nimble yet surefooted. WTB rims laced to SRAM hubs roll over rocks and roots so smoothly you'll think the trail turned to blacktop. A Shimano Deore/SLX drivetrain gives you the right gear for the ups, downs, and everything in between, and when you need to slow it all down, Deore brakes have your back. Race Face components up the rad-quotient with stellar durability. Built around a 100mm travel fork, the Highball is bred for pure speed. And you better believe that speed comes easy on a frame this incredible. Even non-racers can dig that.
