Whether we are taking on the Big Cottonwood Loop or entering our local cross-country race, the Santa Cruz Highball is a top choice with the Herd. The fast and streamlined Highball is a cross-country hardtail optimized for an efficient and lively ride. With a 67-degree headtube angle, the Highball offers precise handling while not being so steep that we feel like going over the bars on the descents.

The X0 Transmission AXS Reserve build of the Santa Cruz Highball features a race-worth component spec. First, this version of the Highball features Santa Cruz's premium Carbon CC frame--the stiffest and lightest weight possible. SRAM's X0 Transmission AXS drivetrain takes this ride to new heights and provides flawless electronic shifting, durable components, and a hanger-less interface for simpler installation and upgraded durability. Reserves 28 XC rims are super lightweight and durable, so you can save weight and simultaneously reduce vibrations from the trail. SRAM's new Level Silver Stealth 2-piston brakes are lightweight and throw down loads of stopping power.

The RockShox Reverb AXS XPLR seat post provides us with smooth, electronic changes in saddle height, and a RockShox SID SL Ultimate, 100mm fork, is super lightweight and gives us one of the best cross-country forks on the market. *Due to a high demand in the globa...
