2026 Santa Cruz Highball GX AXS
Santa Cruz- Carbon C Frame
- RockShox Sid SL Select+ Fork
- SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type Drivetrain
When the trail (or the competition) calls for the direct drive efficiency that only a hardtail can offer, the Highball is the choice. It looks straightforward but that belies the high-tech features and design hidden within. This is a modern take on the simple machine that many still choose to put battery acid in their thighs and fire in their lungs in order to conquer something. Whether you're chasing medals, personal demons, or just some riding buddies, this is a hardtail you'll be happy to log long hours upon.
