Product Details
The Santa Cruz Highball 3.1 C GX AXS is a masterclass in XC hardtail design, blending race-ready precision with advanced engineering. This carbon fiber machine thrives when efficiency and speed are paramount, whether you're pushing for medals, chasing personal bests, or leading your pack. Its streamlined simplicity hides a wealth of innovation, ensuring every ride is an opportunity to outperform and endure.
Santa Cruz has infused the Highball with thoughtful features to optimize both performance and comfort. The 27.2mm diameter seatpost and low-slung top tube create a supple ride, soaking up trail chatter while allowing riders to maintain relentless momentum. Complementing this is the frame’s dropped seat stays, crafted with custom laminates designed for vertical compliance. These elements reduce trail vibrations and provide a smooth, fatigue-resistant feel, even during grueling rides from dawn to dusk. The lightweight RockShox Sid SL Select+ fork with 100mm travel and remote lockout adds precision and control, ensuring confidence across technical terrain.
At its core, the Highball is equipped with SRAM's next-generation GX Eagle AXS Transmission, an innovative wireless drivetrain offering unmatched shifting performance. The Full Mount hangerless attachment system strengthens the connection between the derailleur and frame, ensuring durability even under heavy loads. Shifting is seamless, thanks to X-SYNC technology and precise cassette mapping, which deliver reliable transitions during intense climbs or sprints. AXS Pods provide ergonomic, customizable controls for an intuitive feel, while RaceFace ARC Offset wheels and Maxxis Rekon Race tires enhance grip and agility.
With a total weight of just 23.19 lbs (10.52 kg), the Santa Cruz Highball 3.1 C GX AXS is built for those who demand speed, efficiency, and unparalleled comfort. Whether competing or exploring, this hardtail is your ultimate partner for XC adventures.
