Not every ride requires dual suspension and a full face helmet. Prep your energy cubes and fill up those bottles because the Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball C S Complete Mountain Bike has plans for some serious mileage. This short travel hard tail is an XC weapon and long-distance singletrack killer. Its lightweight Carbon C frame uses a cross-country oriented rear triangle design for added flex while the 12-speed SRAM Eagle™ drivetrain has plenty of range for sufferfests. The Highball C S also comes equipped with a remote-assist lockable Fox 32 fork and three bottle mounts - all day missions are a go.
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. 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.
3 Bottle Cage Mounts – With one mount on the seat tube and two on the downtube, you'll never want for water storage.
