SANTA CRUZ HIGHBALL 3 CC FRAME

Outdoors, from dawn to dusk.

The Highball is our flagship carbon hardtail race bike and a dark horse in XC versatility.

More capable than a pure endurance bike, more composed than most XC race bikes, the Highball has evolved to be easier to ride for longer. We've refined the carbon layup process, and the low-angle bridgeless seat stays connect to the seat tube below the top tube junction to reduce trail vibrations.

Built around a 27.2mm diameter seatpost, the entire package comes together to take the “hard” out of hardtail riding. It has the mindset of a race bike, but it's ready for more. With the capacity for three bottle cages, the ever-reliable threaded BB, and, of course, the lifetime warranty that comes with all Santa Cruz bikes, it's the kind of bike that will go the distance.
