Details

The Santa Cruz Hightower brings versatility and brawn to the game while hitting a sweet spot for aggressive trail riding. It sports 135mm of rear travel, fast-rolling 29er wheels, and a 67-degree head angle. The Hightower gives you the extra bit of confidence to let off the brakes and let 'er rip through the rough stuff. It feels well-balanced in the air and corners like a champ. At the same time, it has impeccable trail manners and pedals efficiently, so you won’t get that ‘too much bike’ feeling if you end up doing an extra lap or pushing your ride further into the hills.

The XX1 build makes no compromises. Its carbon CC frame is of the same pedigree that proved carbon’s place in the world of mountain biking, and the Santa Cruz Reserve wheels carry that torch even further, often called the strongest carbon wheels on the market. A 140mm 36 Float Factory and a DPS Fox shock pair well with Santa Cruz's VPP suspension. You’ll quickly fall in love with the SRAM XX1 drivetrain that’s light, stiff, and shifts precisely through a massive 12-gear range, allowing exploration of the steepest, most technical terrain out there. The SRAM Guide Ultimate brakes are some of the most powerful, highly modulable brakes on the mountain, while a carbon handlebar, WTB saddle, and RockShox Reverb stealth dropper deliver tremendous control in myriad riding scenarios.
