When the trail (or the competition) calls for the direct drive efficiency that only a hardtail can offer, the Highball is the choice. It looks straightforward but that belies the high-tech features and design hidden within. This is a modern take on the simple machine that many still choose to put battery acid in their thighs and fire in their lungs in order to conquer something. Whether you’re chasing medals, personal demons, or just some riding buddies, this is a hardtail you’ll be happy to log long hours upon.
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.
SOFT ON THE BODY - A 27.2 seatpost combined with dropped seat stays isolate the top tube from high speed trail chatter, reducing feedback to your, uh, engine.
