SANTA CRUZ BIKES

LIGHTER, FASTER, AND MORE POWER.

HECKLER SL

A sneaky ebike that's lightweight, powerful and has surprising range. All the on-trail traits of a Santa Cruz combined with the FAZUA RIDE 60 drive unit. 150mm of legendary VPP™ suspension, mixed wheels, and progressive geometry makes the Heckler SL a natural handling trail bike. Just with the added power of an ebike.

FULL POWER, ZERO TRADEOFFS

VALA

Whether you're navigating steep, technical climbs or bombing rugged descents, the Vala keeps you in control, no matter the trail. Powered by the industry-leading Bosch Performance Line CX Motor and crafted with Santa Cruz's famous suspension feel, it offers supreme balance between stability and agility.

WHAT GOES UP, LOVES COMING DOWN

BULLIT

The Bullit is designed for tackling the steepest and deepest of trails in both directions. Imagine the kinds of rooty, rocky, horror fests usually reserved for our biggest hitting bikes like the Nomad and Megatower. Then imagine what lies beyond that.

N + ONE (LESS CAR)

SKITCH

The Skitch is the ultimate city-slicking, traffic-flicking, alleycat-slipping, rat race-escaping teleportation device. The powerful and light motor gives you a nudge to spend less time behind a glass windscreen and more time with your knees in the breeze. You’ll look for even more excuses to get on your bike because even a city commute can be as much fun as bike park laps.

A FAIR ADVANTAGE

BLUR

Each weekend, at race venues the world over, there is one rider who gets hoisted upon the shoulders of the crowd and carried to the podium. Or at least leaves with a water bottle as their prize. And between each of those races, innumerable wannabes are putting in the hours on the rollers and in the gym all because they want to feel what it’s like to take the win. They know that to beat the pack every advantage needs to be acquired. That’s where the Blur fits in.

WIDE OPEN, DAWN TO DUSK

HIGHBALL

The Highball is Santa Cruz' 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.

ENDLESSLY LIMITLESS

CHAMELEON

The Santa Cruz Chameleon is ready to adapt to its local environment, whatever direction your imagination takes you. Unlike its smarmy, insurance peddling gecko cousin, the Chameleon commands more than just 15 minutes of your time. Going back to its simple, aluminum roots, the Santa Cruz Chameleon is the shapeshifting bike for freedom seekers.

ITHE GRAVITY RIDER'S XC BIKE

TALLBOY

The new 120mm Tallboy takes a leap further into what short-travel bikes really are capable of. With kick-ass lower-link VPP suspension, a streamlined design, the typical Santa Cruz refinement, and rather radical geometry, the Tallboy is back to being a genre bending folk hero.

THE THRASHER'S ALL-TERRAIN PLAY MACHINE

5010

A laser sharp, agile trail whip that turns on a dime and loves to pop and play. The 130mm-travel 5010 sports short chainstays and a low BB for a uniquely playful character and an insatiable appetite for negotiating steep, technical climbs. When it’s time to descend, the bike’s 66.2/66.5-degree head tube angle (adjusted via flip chip) and generous reach/short stem combo equate to precise, confident handling.

FEW BIKES CAN do IT ALL

HIGHTOWER 4

Few bikes do it all as well as the Santa Cruz Hightower. Bumping up slightly from its fence-straddling positioning, the Hightower now sits in the meat of the market: the 150/160mm do-every-thing bike. A true quiver of one, it is equally at home on lunch laps, road trips, or the occasional enduro race.

NOT TO BE TYPECAST

BRONSON

With so many models to choose from in the Santa Cruz lineup, the Bronson is the answer for those who just want to be a mountain biker. When everyone else is gathered around pontificating the perfect bike for a particular ride, the Bronson has already been down the mountain once and is climbing back up for more. The new Bronson features mixed wheels (29” up front, 27.5” out back) giving you the the best of both worlds and a few extra style points.

SEND IT ANYWHERE.

NOMAD

Probably the most abused bike in the Santa Cruz line up, every Nomad has a story to tell. But each Nomad keeps coming back for more. It's not Stockholm Syndrome, it's called sealed bearings in all pivots, a lower link grease port, shuttle guards, and free bearing replacements.

YOUR EVERYDAY DOWNHILL BIKE.

MEGATOWER

The Megatower is the fusion of big wheels and the biggest-hitting suspension system. It’s a modern day brawler, as suited to diehard racers as it is to riders wanting to conquer their hometown trails.

PUZZLIN' AIN'T EASY

V10

No compromises, no gimmicks, no shortcuts—just the most successful bike in downhill history with no signs of slowing down. Available in 27.5 or 29. Make your choice according to your size or riding style, and you’ll be the recipient of every bit of work and puzzling that’s gone into the Syndicate’s race bikes.

THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER AND THE PARTY NEVER ENDS

STIGMATA

When the Stigmata was resurrected in 2015, Santa Cruz fused a number of MTB standards and design features to create their spin on the modern CX bike. Something must have clicked, because within months of launch it raced to victory at the legendary Three Peaks, and has continued to contend at elite cyclocross races around the world.
