Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesRelaxed is smooth, and smooth is fast. For a bike without rear suspension, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Highball 3 C R Complete Mountain Bike is extremely comfortable. A lot of that has to do with the geometry, but mostly it's due to the decision to go with a narrow (27.2mm) seat tube. This brings a whole new level of comfort and vibration damping, that combined with Santa Cruz C carbon lets you go even faster than you thought possible. This Highball is still a precision hardtail, capable of holding pinpoint tech lines, just smoother than you're used to. With 10mm more travel up front, this Highball is even more comfortable.
