Santa Cruz Highball 29 X01 / CC - 2018

Nothing beats the acceleration of a hardtail mountain bike and the Santa Cruz Highball CC is purpose-built to dominate intense XC pursuits. On this iteration, Santa Cruz shaved half a pound from the weight of the frame and redesigned the seat stay/top tube junction to give you more comfort over the long haul without sacrificing speed. With three water bottle mounts, threaded BB reliability, and internally routed cables, the only thing you'll be concerned about is when to make the turn back home. The Highball X01/CC build is fueled by SRAM's svelte X01 Eagle drivetrain and Level TLM brakes for excellent control across all types of terrain. A remote-actuated Fox 32 Performance Elite fork effortlessly guides you through rough terrain while the DT Swiss wheelset and Maxxis Aspen tires do their part when it's time to grip and rip. For even better handling and response, upgrade to Santa Cruz' Reserve 25 carbon wheelset and experience the thrill of fast-paced mountain biking like never before.
