Quality Bicycles Since 1994
Santa Cruz Bicycles was founded in 1994 at 104 Bronson Street in Santa Cruz, California.
In one room was hardly larger than a garage on the grounds of the Seabright Cannery cannery.
It was also home to our colleagues from Santa Cruz Skateboards, RockShox, a surfboard shaper, two bakeries, a chili sauce company, several artists’ studios, a coffee roastery, a climbing hall and similar creative, living and inspiring companies.
Our first bike was the Tazmon – a fully with 80mm of travel that shook up the established views and led the Santa Cruz Bicycles brand rapidly into the full-suspension future.
30 years and 89 bike models later, we continue to set new standards while remaining simply progressive.
The development and manufacture of our bikes is fully in our hands.
We develop every bike in Santa Cruz, California, we own our own carbon frame factory and we assemble all our bikes ourselves.
We grease the bearings, we tighten the screws, we get all the parts out of our warehouse with self-made trolleys, and when the bikes are assembled, we pack them into self-designed boxes.
