Product Info
The Santa Cruz Highball 3.1 C Eagle 90 Complete Mountain Bike is a hardtail that doesn't apologize for being a hardtail. A lightweight carbon frame and Eagle 90 drivetrain make it fast and efficient on the climbs, while the aggressive geometry keeps things honest and connected on the way down. Sometimes the simplest setup is the most fun.

Wheel Size – 29"
27.2 Seatpost – A 27.2 seatpost combined with dropped seat stays isolate the top tube from high speed trail chatter, reducing feedback.

Biking Type
Mountain Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Used For:
Cross Country

Used For
Cross Country With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm).

Suspension:
Hardtail
More
Suspension
Hardtail As the name suggests, hardtail bikes feature a rigid frame with front suspension only. This means that the rear wheel lacks any form of suspension, hence the term "hardtail."
Hardtail mountain bikes are renowned for their efficiency in transferring power from the pedals to the rear wheel, making them excellent choices for climbing and maintaining speed on smoother trails or paved surfaces.
