Wide open, dawn to dusk.   The Santa cruz Highball C S Mountain Bike is our flagship carbon hardtail race thoroughbred, and a dark horse in XC versatility.   More capable than a pure endurance bike, more composed than most XC race-rigs, the Highball has evolved to be easier to ride harder for longer. We fine-tuned the carbon layup process and the low-angle, bridgeless seatstays join the seat tube below the top tube junction in order to curb trail chatter.   Built around a 27.2mm diameter seat post, the whole package combines to take the “hard” out of hardtail riding. It has the mindset of a race bike but it’s prepared for more. With capacity for three bottle cages, the ever-reliable threaded BB and, of course, the lifetime warranty that comes standard with all Santa Cruz bikes, it’s the kind of bike that’ll go far.   Santa Cruz Highball C S Mountain Bike 2021 Features Fork: FOX Rhythm 32, 100mm, 29, w/ Remote Front Derailleur: FOX Remote Lever, 2-position Rear Derailleur: SRAM NX Eagle, 12spd Shifters:SRAM NX Eagle, 12spd
