Product Info

Mixologists rejoice: the Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball 3 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike is the smoothest hardtail on the menu. Built around a smaller diameter seat tube, it's made to take the sting out of hardtail riding without sacrificing any speed. On this bike, you get the precision and efficiency you're looking for, the ability to place rubber and power exactly where you want it, without rattling your spine to dust. This build is extra plush, with Santa Cruz's C carbon and SRAM's GX AXS wireless electronic drivetrain, the new standard going forward. Truly top shelf, this Highball!

Product Details

Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
