Santa Cruz Bicycles Snapshot
At Santa Cruz Bicycles, our mission is to build the best bicycles possible and to have fun doing it. This isn’t about glory or status. It’s about building bikes to last a lifetime and backing them up with top-tier rider support. Less waste and less hassle mean more fun and more time on the bike.
But this “No Missed Rides” policy does not end with our customers. We treat our employees with the same mentality: that every moment on the trail, every evening with our families, and every weekend away counts. We’re not interested in holding our employees back with meaningless work. We provide them with the support they need so they can focus on real goals, real results, and what really matters.
That’s why our employees don’t view us as a “company to work for.” To them, working here is a lifestyle choice. It’s not the bikes that bring us together, it’s our sense of community, our passion for the brand, and our desire to be a part of something that does.

Santa Cruz Bicycles was founded in 1993 in a space the size of a single-car garage in Santa Cruz California. Our first bike rattled established sensibilities and helped define our then-ethos of "simply advanced." That bike was the cornerstone for a brand that was founded on the notion of doing things our own way in order to build the best. We now manufacture 15 models of mountain bikes and a full women's Juliana range. Each and every one of our bikes is the distillation of our desire to ride and build the highest-performance mountain bikes in the world. No more, no less.
