Description

Santa Cruz's Hightower is a legend among mountain bikes, years of refinement and perfected geometry makes for what could be the ultimate do-everything MTB.

With a 150mm travel front end paired with 145mm of Rear VPP suspension and 29er wheels it, strikes the balance of being able to descend super fast and controlled but still efficiently pedals for those all day epics! The frame design fits a water bottle, the excellent glove box storage compartment and tidy internal routing for cables.

The middle child in Santa Cruz's line-up, Hightower is more manoeuvrable and trail friendly than its longer-travel sibling, the Megatower, while more at home in the steep-and-chunky than its snappy cousin Tallboy.

    Top bike. Top service. Great price.

    Brilliant bike. Glued to the ground around berms. It corners beautifully. Great on jumps and drops, too. Confidence-inspiring. The geometry makes you naturally weight the front-end a little more (making up for my worst riding habit of hanging-off-the back!) so it grips great. It's a little heavier than the Specialized Stumpjumper (standard - not evo) that it replaced so slightly slower on the ups. But it more than makes up for it with fun on the downs. I'm running it in the high flip-chip, keeping the bars a little low and putting a bit more air in the rear shock - all to make it climb a little better and be less of a step-change from the Stumpy. The AXS gears are fantastic. Adjustability of the fork is great. And service from Bike Tart was top-notch. No complaints.
