Mike’s Bikes Exclusive Build: Carbon Builds For Less.
These exclusive builds feature a range of affordable ‘D’ build components on a Santa Cruz carbon frame that delivers an impressive ride at an affordable price. Like any other bike from Mike’s Bikes, these exclusive builds have been assembled and hand-tuned by one of our expert mechanics before shipment. This item is new, and given the nature of these builds, slight variations in components may occur. Lifetime warranty applicable to all frames.
PRODUCT:
The Highball is our flagship carbon hardtail race thoroughbred, and a dark horse in XC versatility.
More capable than a pure endurance bike, more composed than most XC race-rigs, the Highball has evolved to be easier to ride harder for longer. We fine-tuned the carbon layup process and the low-angle, bridgeless seatstays join the seat tube below the top tube junction in order to curb trail chatter.
Built around a 27.2mm diameter seat post, the whole package combines to take the “hard” out of hardtail riding. It has the mindset of a race bike but it’s prepared for more. With capacity for three bottle cages, the ever-reliable threaded BB and, of course, the lifetime warranty that comes standard with all Santa Cruz bikes, it’s the kind of bike that’ll go far.
