The Pivot LES Fat is the world’s most versatile big-tire machine. It's compatible with almost every wheel size available, from 26-inch to 27.5-inch Fat to 29er. The perfect wheel and tire combination? That’s always open to debate. But one thing is beyond dispute: No matter which wheel size you choose, your bike should handle great. Pivot's proprietary Swinger II dropout system guarantees that’s always the case, no matter which wheel and tire combination you use. The ingenious dropouts maintain ideal geometry via an indexed adjustment arc designed into the dropouts—the bigger the wheel and the more clearance you choose, the lower the bottom bracket. The LES Fat full carbon frame features a svelte top tube and seatstay shaping for comfort on long rides and epic adventures. The full carbon frame features leading-edge materials and Pivot's proprietary hollow-core, internal-molding process. This coveted technology enables Pivot to create an ultra-lightweight frame featuring the largest downtube in the category and a 132mm Press Fit BB for best-in-class power transfer. Additional frame details include the Cable Port System for clean and easy cable routing, three water bottle mounts, and a narrow Q-Factor for better pedaling ergonomics. The LES Fat frameset includes a Pivot-designed carbon, rigid fork that easily accommodates any wheel size with clearance to spare. This full carbon fork features 150mm dropout spacing—the same spacing as fat bike suspension forks, so you can use the same wheels with rigid and suspension forks. Looking for a bike that's ready for anything? The LES Fat is a four-season hardtail that can take you from singletrack to snow to sand with no compromises.

Santa Cruz took the fun-loving, shreddy spirit and adjustability of the beloved aluminum Chameleon and added a lighter, faster, more advanced version of the species. It’s a do-it-all hardtail that is as happy making the most of backyard booter (mis)adventures as it is fully-loaded with camp gear and a color-matched dangle mug. The Chameleon changes to suit its environment. Twenty-niner or 27.5-plus, geared or single-speed, this adaptable hardtail utilizes a suite of simple, swappable dropouts to convert it from aggro trail charger to single-speed racer to husky bikepacking mule, or anything in between. Two bottle cage mounts, including a triple-bolt cargo cage mount under the downtube mean you can escape from the crowds, too. Depending on setup and skill level, the Chameleon is capable on a wide range of terrain—aggressive trail riding to jump lines to all-around use. Going for maximum speed and rollability? Go 29er. Riding mostly loose terrain? Get some Plus tires that provide traction for days.

Speaking of color-matched, the carbon chameleon SE version features custom blue Hope hubs and headset that make this reptile stand out from the crowd.

The Highball is Santa Cruz's flagship carbon hardtail race thoroughbred, and a dark horse in XC versatility. More capable than a pure endurance bike, and more composed than most XC race-rigs, the Highball has evolved to be easier to ride harder for longer. Santa Cruz fine-tuned the carbon layup process around the seat stays, giving it a bridgeless design that curbs trail chatter. Coupled with a 27.2mm diameter seat post, the whole package takes the “hard” out of hardtail riding. 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. The entry-level Highball Carbon C R is hardly a budget build. With SRAM's NX Eagle drivetrain, Level T brakes, and Fox Rhythm 32 fork, you'll find everything you need to chase your demons. A tubeless-ready WTB/SRAM wheelset wrapped in 2.25-inch Maxxis Aspen tires offer dependability and low rolling resistance, while the Race Face Aeffect bar and stem combo give you precise steering control for confidence in every situation. It has the mindset of a race bike but it’s prepared for more.

Both are shod with Maxxis Aspen tires for predictable traction and low rolling resistance. A Race Face Aeffect bar and stem combo give you precise steering control for confidence in every situation, and WTB's Silverado Pro saddle tops the build.

An SBC XC Carbon Flat bar, Syntace LiteForce stem, and Syntace P6 Carbon HiFlex seatpost topped with a WTB Silverado Team saddle finish this race-ready cross-country rig.
