Santa Cruz Highball 29 CC custom build long-term review

Jun 2020 · Joe Norledge

The Highball has been the ideal hardtail for the type of riding I like to do and, while it's not 100 per cent perfect, I’ve loved every minute riding it

Highs
  • Contemporary cross-country geometry and an external bottom bracket make the Highball CC a treat to ride

Lows
  • The water ingress into the frame is annoying
