}}Santa Cruz Bicycles is a manufacturer of high end mountain bikes based in Santa Cruz, California.[1] They sponsor the Santa Cruz Syndicate, a downhill racing team. The company moved premises from 104 Bronson Street to 2841 Mission Street in 2013 .[2] On July 3, 2015. Santa Cruz bicycle was sold to Pon Holdings, a family-owned Dutch conglomerate with a bicycle division including brands such as Cervélo, Focus and Royal Dutch Gazelle.[3]

History

Santa Cruz Bicycles was founded by Rob Roskopp, Mike Marquez and Rich Novak in 1993.[4] Roskopp had spent many years as a professional skateboarder, and Novak's Santa Cruz Skateboards company had put out a special "Roskopp" model before the two met. Roskopp and Novak went into partnership with bike engineer Mike Marquez, who had particular experience in bicycle suspension, and Tom Morris, a designer, to build some prototypes.[5]

Their first bike, in 1994, was a full suspension bike called the Tazmon. It had a {{convert|80|mm|in}} travel single pivot design,[6] the first on the market.[1][4] It was followed a year later by the {{convert|100|mm|in}} travel Heckler, a model that was discontinued for the 2016 model year.

The company acquired the patents for their Virtual Pivot Point (aka "VPP") from Outland Bikes around 1999.[4]

Models

The company manufactures around a dozen models of mountain bikes made of carbon fiber and aluminum, ranging from $1500 to over $10000 retail. Their bikes are suited to a wide range of mountain biking disciplines.[1] Frame fabrication occurs in China or Taiwan, but all bicycles are assembled in Santa Cruz, built to customer specifications just before being shipped out.

In 2013, a single model, the "Juliana" was spun off as a stand-alone brand and range of mountain bikes for women, designed by and named for Juli Furtado.[7]

In 2017 Santa Cruz announced the addition of carbon fiber wheels[8] to their product lineup.
