Hard on the throttle, soft on the body

A carbon cross-country hardtail with a 100mm fork and 29in wheels. Every watt you put in goes straight to the back tyre, and the dropped seat stays and 27.2mm post take enough sting out of the ground that you can still walk the next morning.

Hard on the throttle

Race bred

Hard on the throttle

Light, quick, and snappy when you get on the pedals, the Highball is a race-bred XC hardtail with modern geometry. Every watt you put in goes straight to the back tyre, whether you're chasing medals, personal demons, or your riding buddies.

Soft on the body

Chatter reduction

Soft on the body

A 27.2 seatpost combined with dropped seat stays isolates the top tube from high-speed trail chatter, reducing feedback to your, uh, engine. It's a hardtail you'll be happy to log long hours upon.

Design Details

The engineering behind the Highball.

Carbon Mastery

Carbon Mastery

Choose the lighter Carbon CC frame or the value-minded Carbon C. Both carry a lifetime frame warranty.

Race Geometry

Race Geometry

Steep enough to climb and sharp enough to react, without the twitchiness that used to come with the territory.

Dropped Seat Stays

Dropped Seat Stays

Dropped stays and a 27.2mm post flex just enough to take the chatter out of a hardtail without costing you a watt.
