Highball
WIDE OPEN, DAWN 'TIL DUSK
When the trail calls for the direct drive efficiency that only a hardtail can offer, the Highball is the choice. This is a modern take on the simple machine that many still choose in order to put battery acid in their thighs and fire in their lungs when conquering a challenge. Whether you’re chasing medals, personal demons, or your 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.

Sizing & Geometry
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
