- Santa Cruz was founded in 1993 in California by skateboarder Rob Roskopp and mountain bike framebuilder Rich Novak.
- The company is known for its high-end mountain bikes, including the Bronson, Nomad, and Hightower, which are designed for aggressive trail riding and enduro racing.

According to the find a dealer from their official website, the only 2 entries for South Africa are Greg Minnaar Cycles (obviously), and Rush Sports. Hopping onto the latter’s site you can find the following (sometimes more rural, sometimes more hidden) gems.
