Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball C GX AXS Transmission Mountain Bike Matte Dark Teal, M

Sporting direct-drive efficiency, a lively ride, and capable geometry, the Santa Cruz Highball is a popular cross-country hardtail for everything from cruising to racing. The Highball deploys 29-inch wheels, short chainstays, and a slack 67-degree headtube angle for performance and precision on various trails. Vertically compliant seat stays help to eliminate vibrations from trail chatter and give us a softer feel and more confidence and efficiency in rougher terrain. A smaller diameter seat tube and seat post further help reduce feedback to the rider, and the highball is compatible with dropper posts if we want to upgrade in the future. The finishing features include SRAM's UDH, three water bottle mounts in the front triangle, tunneled internal cable routing, and downtube and chainstay protectors.
