Santa Cruz Bicycles creates category-leading downhill, cross country, and electric bikes. We design, research, engineer, manufacture and assemble the very highest quality bikes. They are so simply advanced that they make bicycling even more enjoyable and are made to last many lifetimes of real world abuse.

“Having a coastal-based factory, and headquarters in our hometown of Santa Cruz, California, all of us here at Santa Cruz Bicycles feel an extra bit of responsibility to help protect California’s coastal air quality, waters, wildlife, and communities.

We work hard to do this in tangible ways, including building out a solar-powered bicycle factory, using efficient package design to reduce volume and wasted space, and making sure that packaging that comes into the building is reused or recycled. We also incentivize employees to bike, walk, or carpool to work by offering credits that can be used for purchasing bikes, bike parts, and local goods.​ Partnering with Blue Whales and Blue Skies allows us to bring this same sustainability commitment outside of the factory walls, where we can also make a positive impact on our coastal environment by encouraging the adoption of sustainable shipping practices with our global shipping partners.”
