Santa Cruz Bikes

Santa Cruz Bicycles has earned a cult following for good reason; rooted in the trails of Northern California, they’ve been pushing the limits of mountain bike design since 1994, with some of the most beloved bikes across the industry. Built for riders who live to rip, Santa Cruz bikes combine progressive geometry, premium carbon construction, and a commitment to flat-out speed and performance, leading the pack on everything from local laps to the professional ranks. 

At Contender Bicycles, we’re pleased to carry the full Santa Cruz arsenal, from race-ready cross-country bikes like the Blur, to versatile, do-it-all trail machines like the Tallboy and Hightower, to big-hit enduro bruisers like the Nomad and Megatower. The 5010 and Bronson remain crowd favorites for riders who love to pop and play on every feature, while the Stigmata delivers gravel speed with classic Santa Cruz flair. The new Skitch e-bike proves Santa Cruz can bring the same stoke to the streets, offering pedal-assist power in a lightweight package, perfect for a sweat-free commute or an energizing rip around the neighborhood.

Whether you’re chasing podiums, hunting KOMs, or just out to shred single-track with friends, Santa Cruz builds bikes that are tough and tech-forward, ridiculously fun, and sure to deliver.
