Santa Cruz bikes are hands down one of the most desired frame manufactures in the world and by looking at the 2009 line up, you'll know why. Since they already have a very versatile stable of frames, it's all about refinements and ground out re-modeling these days. Santa Cruz knows that you can always make things a little better and that riding styles dictate what riders need and want to get out of their bikes.

If you have never ridden a Santa Cruz bike, then find your closest dealer, and test ride one of these beauties. I can guarantee that you won’t want to give it back.
