Jackal is an opportunistic scavenger of man-made terrain. The Jackal is a no-BS dirt jump, pump track, and urban assault bike. We sell it as a frame-only, and it runs on old-timey 26-inch wheels. Overbuilt to last forever, these frames will take more abuse than you can dish out, yet still weigh in at under 5lbs. A clever asymmetrical yoke permits the use of rock-solid and super-short 15.2-inch chainstays. And, for those who want to take their anarchy further afield, the unique sliding rear dropouts allow for a geared set-up as well as single speed. - Frame only

Simply for shredding. All-new for 2021, the Minotaur is a dirt/pump track beast with a full 6061-T6 alloy frame for performance, as well as our own rigid chromoly fork for simplicity, speed, and style.

The Thread One delivers shredding capabilities beyond its budget-conscious pricing.

The Asura Pro uses our full Chromoly aftermarket dirt jump frame as a base and then injects a pro level parts upgrade in the form of a Manitou Circus Comp fork, Tektro hydraulic disc brake, and fully sealed Radio Pro DJ wheels. Perfect for blasting the trails, sessioning the skatepark, or even street missions, the Asura Pro is a bike that might just surprise you with how versatile it is.

The creme de la creme of 26" bikes, the Griffin Pro is built around a super-light and stiff 6061-T6 alloy frame and is adorned with a Manitou Circus Expert 100mm fork and a premium level parts package from Race Face and Maxxis. A vicious unit that packs a real punch, this blacked-out machine is an unstoppable partner for the rider needing a bike that makes no compromises.

As the second hardtail model in the line, the Thread Two offers the same radical-looking aluminum frame with upgraded components for serious shredders, from its Manitou Circus Expert fork to the gravity-proven FSA Gradient cockpit, sealed bearing Haro SD Nylon pedals, Pivotal MTB saddle and alloy seat-post, Spank Spoon rims, and the New Haro oversize sealed rotor for fast bar-spin action. The Thread Two offers a unique combination with its custom alloy detangler and hydraulic-assisted rear brake with the innovative TRP HY/RD disc caliper for high-performance braking while bar-spinning away...Get ready to nail that line like you never have before...

MP2 SUSPENSION Dual suspension platforms open up a whole new world of on-trail speed and control. Faultline combines our proven MP2 design, the suspension platform that's won us numerous industry accolades, and Bike of the Year awards, with 29" wheels and a smart spec. It's the perfect rig for the experienced hardtail rider looking to upgrade to a dual suspension bike, or for a new rider looking for a bit of a head start. ASYMMETRICAL CHAINSTAYS The Faultline's chainstays are asymmetrical, with an elevated straight stay on the non-drive side and a dropped curved stay on the drive side. The drive side must be dropped & curved to clear the chainring, but running the non-drive side straight from the dropout to BB pivot reduces weight while significantly stiffening the rear triangle laterally. This design also helps improve tire clearance. - Triple-butted 6061 alloy - 120mm travel mp2 suspension - Rock Shox Deluxe Select R air shock with rebound adjust - Rock Shox Recon Silver RL 29", Solo Air, lever actuated lockout, external rebound - WTB STX i25 TCS 29" tubeless rims, Shimano MT400 hubs - Shimano Deore Shadow Plus, 11-speed - Shimano Deore, 32T crank - Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes

Wide open, dawn to dusk. 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.

When Team Jumbo-Visma decided it was time to race XCO, they came to us for the answer. The ZHT-5 marks a new era for Cervelo and the team, as we go racing together. Our engineering expertise has already been proven in cyclocross (R5-CX) and gravel racing (Áspero), and now we've upped the ante and designed a mountain bike worthy of the Cervelo name. ZHT-5 is a Cervelo through and through: fast, efficient, and fun to ride. The 69-degree head tube angle, modern reach, and short chainstays combine to make a bike that's stable at speed and nimble enough for pack racing. There's room to maneuver in the cockpit, whether you're darting inside on an uphill hairpin, or hanging off the back to make time on the descent. - Speed First Our mantra is to make riders faster. And doing that means creating bikes that turn power into forward motion as efficiently as possible. Nothing does this more effectively in dirt than a hardtail. But power is nothing without control, so we focused on making a rapid cross-country race bike that still handles confidently in technical sections, feeding the desire to ride faster. - Stiff, Light & Ready To Fight Weighing in at just 907g (size Medium), ZHT-5 is a featherweight fighter with the punchy turn of pace that only a hardtail can deliver. Decades of making frames built for the strongest sprinters in the world have fed into a super stiff mountain bike design that propels you to the front without compromising weight or ride quality. - Modern Geo For The Modern XC Rider If you’ve not ridden a hardtail for a while, you’ll be surprised at how the ZHT-5’s 69-degree head tube angle, 457mm reach (size L), and 430mm chainstays feel progressive and refreshingly modern. If you’ve ridden them all your life, you’ll be baffled at how we’ve managed to eke out yet more performance from such a clean and simple design. The ZHT-5’s geometry puts you in the driving seat to carve up all the tight hairpins and features that litter the ups and downs of today’s XC trails. - Not Our First Rodeo We know from winning cyclo-cross World Champs that when the going gets gritty, threaded bottom brackets are the best way to go. ZHT-5 adopts the BSA threaded standard to meet the strength, stiffness, durability, and serviceability needs of racers and race mechanics alike. It also makes it the ideal winter training companion.

Our greatest hits compiled into one bike. Just hit play. If ever a bike resembled your most cherished mix tape compilation, the Hightower is it. Featuring our lower-link mounted shock design, updated, adjustable geometry, this "Engineering Best Of..." assembles some of our biggest design pleasers into one belter of a road-trip companion. The Hightower has been a does-it-all-well trail bike since its inception. More maneuverable than its longer-travel sibling, the Megatower, and more at home in the steep-and-chunky than its snappy cousin Tallboy, Hightower excels when the route covers 'all points in between,' and descents come courtesy of some big-ass climbs. The VPP suspension's lower-link-mounted shock creates a nearly linear leverage curve, meaning it mops up bumps of all sizes and maintains the kind of progressivity normally reserved for our V10 DH bike! 145mm of rear travel complemented by a 150mm front end gives Hightower just a bit more front and rear travel over the first generation model. Combined with a slacker 65-degree head tube angle, the Hightower still sits squarely in the Goldilocks zone, but with a touch more "Oh sh*t, get me out of here" capability when the porridge gets too hot! Balancing stiffness and weight savings in all the right places is a hallmark of all Santa Cruz carbon frames, and the Hightower flies the flag yet higher. The advanced composite chassis tracks well across all trail surfaces, holds a line, and is reactive to rider directions while isolating pedal-influenced inputs. The Hightower also has a bonus disc to heighten the experience: the flip chip. In the High setting, the BB height is a little higher for those tricky tech trails and/or when Plus sized tires are required. In the Low position, the shock rate is more progressive to provide additional bottom-out resistance. Whatever mood you're in, the tone of the Hightower can be adapted to meet your individual taste. And, speaking of taste, there's room for a water bottle inside the main frame and a threaded BB for convenience. There's refined cable routing for better shifting performance, simpler installation, and no cable rub. On top of that, there's a tailgate shuttle guard, downtube protector, shock fender, and noise-canceling chainstay protector to keep things quiet. The lifetime frame warranty and lifetime pivot bearing replacement policy assure you that the Hightower will keep delivering the hits for years to come.

If ever there was a gravity riders' XC bike, the Tallboy is it. 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. Sure, 10mm more travel might only seem like one small step. But, coupled with a lower link-driven VPP suspension design, this is one giant leap for the Tallboy. It's the kind of bike that makes you sprint while going up, along, over, or down because of the maximum efficiency of the VPP design and responsive, lightweight chassis. But, because it shares the same engineering principles as our longest travel bikes, the progressive lower link-mounted shock feels equally at home doing cross-country as it does in extreme-country. Paired with a 130mm fork the new Tallboy becomes ever more appealing to riders who like to open it up. And, the geometry: that's a big part of what's going on... Established theory suggests shorter-travel bikes get ridden more slowly, therefore require steeper and more conservative geometries. In reality though, when was the last time you ever throttled back on a fun trail because you weren't on a bigger bike? ...caution to the wind and all that. So, we've done the same here and mimicked our longer travel geometry to create a bike with a 65.5-degree head-angle, generous front center, and short-offset fork, something rarely seen on a bike of this ilk. And, the radical thinking doesn't stop there. The Tallboy's short-short 430mm chainstays have +/- 10mm of rear axle adjustment to ensure riders of all sizes and styles feel equally at home. Match that to a relatively low BB (335mm and 37.5mm drop), and you've got a combo that's ready to haul into every pocket turn and launch out the other side. - Frame only

With raucous off-road ability and a Sherpa-like carrying capacity, it’s ready for expeditions in the high mountains. The Cale AL is the aluminum alternative to its steely Cale partner, ready to conquer the mountains as sold. Not scrimping on off-road potential nor cargo-carrying capability, this bike can handle your local trail center or the high peaks in its stride with ease. Fast-rolling 29" wheels plus the chance of using oversized 27.5"+ tires give you the option to experiment with home-based modifications. As if these features were not already enough to hit the trails, the bike comes with a dropper post and suspension fork, avec plaisir.

MP2 SUSPENSION Dual suspension platforms open up a whole new world of on-trail speed and control. Faultline combines our proven MP2 design, the suspension platform that's won us numerous industry accolades, and Bike of the Year awards, with 29? wheels and a smart spec. It's the perfect rig for the experienced hardtail rider looking to upgrade to a dual suspension bike, or for a new rider looking for a bit of a head start.

A fair advantage 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. We tapped into everything we've learned from years of making the highest quality carbon full-suspension bikes so that we could put as little (weight) as possible into the Blur frame. The trim frame and super-efficient Superlight suspension will be the key to translating your input into competition-beating performances. But, the Blur isn't just for the short track. Two water bottle mounts within the front triangle should keep chuggers happy. And, the high quality fit, finish, and carbon construction promises multi-day racers a worry-free existence, meaning there's no fiddly proprietary parts that could leave you stranded in a Cape Epic or Breck Epic campsite. The carbon frame, while being light, is made to go the distance, and, as always, the legendary Santa Cruz lifetime warranty and Rider Support team have your back. The Blur isn't guaranteed to make you a race winner, but being the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike we've ever made at approx 23lb complete with a frame that is 289g lighter than the previous model, it might be the difference between claiming first place...or just crossing the line.
