The Santa Cruz Highball is the race-bred XC hardtail designed for those who demand hardtail efficiency and ultimate control. When the trail—or the competition—demands precision, the Highball is your go-to machine. While its sleek, straightforward design may look simple, it’s packed with high-tech features that deliver an exceptional ride. Whether you're chasing medals, conquering personal challenges, or just enjoying the ride with friends, the Highball is built to handle long hours on the trail with ease and comfort. For those seeking just a bit more cushion, the Blur or Blur TR might be the perfect fit, while gravel enthusiasts can turn to the Stigmata.
Available in Carbon C and Carbon CC, the Highball boasts 100mm of front travel and features geometry that balances efficiency and comfort, making it the ideal choice for XC riders. Its 29-inch wheels offer a smooth, stable ride, while the design prioritizes compliance without sacrificing performance. A low-slung top tube and 27.2mm seatpost diameter increase vertical compliance, enhancing comfort during long rides. The dropped seat stays reduce trail chatter and isolate the top tube for a smooth, responsive ride, allowing you to focus on the trail ahead. Whether you're hammering down a racecourse or enjoying an all-day adventure, the Highball provides the perfect blend of speed, efficiency, and comfort.
