Santa Cruz Bicycles

Founded in 1994 in a garage in downtown Santa Cruz, California, Santa Cruz Bicycles set out to challenge the norms of mountain bike design. With a focus on innovation, performance, and a no-compromise attitude, they quickly became one of the most respected names in the industry. Today, their bikes are ridden around the world—but their roots in the trails and culture of California remain strong.

Built for the Trail. Designed for Everyday.

Since 2011, Apparel Graphics has had the privilege of working alongside Santa Cruz Bicycles—a company known for pushing the limits of bike design and cultivating a loyal following of riders around the world. While their bikes conquer rugged terrain, our focus has been outfitting their brand for the everyday—creating casual apparel that reflects the same authenticity their riders bring to the trail.

A Partnership Rooted in Trust and Shared Values

Over more than a decade of collaboration, our relationship with Santa Cruz has grown far beyond a standard vendor-client connection. It's a trusted partnership built on mutual respect, creative alignment, and a shared appreciation for the outdoors and the tight-knit cycling community. We've had the honor of helping them bring their brand to life through laid-back, wearable apparel that speaks to who they are—on and off the bike.

Elevating Everyday Apparel with Purposeful Details

Santa Cruz Bicycles understands that their fans don’t just ride bikes—they are loyal to the brand and lifestyle. That’s why we focus on delivering premium casual wear that’s ready for post-ride hangouts, local trail days, or weekend getaways. With every garment, we aim to bring comfort, durability, and design to the forefront.
