This sums up the Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball CC X01 Reserve Complete Mountain Bike, an XC race machine from the company that knows how to make fun bikes go fast. Made from the highest grade carbon fiber, this Highball's frame has a 27.2mm diameter seatpost that's made to flex a bit more than a larger tube. It may not seem like much, but it's enough to take the sting out of the trail when the minutes stretch to hours. Made to last with Reserve carbon rims (guaranteed for life), this will be your fastest bike for years to come.
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate the shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.
