Santa Cruz - SRAM htSQD

The htSQD is a team of three individuals who if you cut them would bleed course tape but who in their own way subvert the spandex nerdiness that has stunk up the place since the 90s.  

Santa Cruz’s approach to XC in the past has been to support a loose-knit pack of long distance hard nuts. Think Boston Bruins in race-fit kit. But the htSQD, like the Syndicate, are our champagne-hunting, good-time having individuals with character. Racers who are champions on and off the bike

They’re also the only XC team sponsored by a record label.

Stigmata

The Stigmata is fast in the pack but stable when you’re deep in the hurt locker and just holding on. Futuristically fast frame that’s lightweight so you’re making watts not carrying extra grams. And plenty of tire clearance to avoid gathering the extra 10lb of Kansas clay your competitors will be hauling.

Blur

The Blur isn’t guaranteed to make you a race winner but being the lightest, full-suspension carbon XC bike we’ve ever made, it might be the difference between claiming first place...or just crossing the line.
