Prep your energy cubes and fill up those bottles because the Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball C R Complete Mountain Bike has plans to rip off some serious mileage. This short-travel hardtail is a deadly weapon on XC and long-distance singletrack missions. Its lightweight Carbon C frame uses a cross-country oriented rear triangle design for added flex while the 11-speed SRAM NX drivetrain has plenty of range for climb/descend versatility. The Highball C comes equipped with fast-rolling tires, a remote-equipped fork, and three bottle mounts - long distance 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.
