Santa Cruz Hightower C R-Kit 29" Mountain Bike
[Photos are illustrative and may not represent the actual setup of this bike model. See description below for exact specifications.]
The Hightower is by far the most technically and design-wise refined bike from the Santa Cruz workshop. It stands out for its harmonious blend of technology and geometry, which has been further refined this year without overstepping the intentions with which the bike was designed. If you're not looking for extremes, just something extremely successful, the versatile Hightower is the right choice. The lightweight C Carbon frame will offer you perfect strength and performance.
VPP construction and a more modern approach to geometry has delivered balanced performance and consistent suspension across all sizes, both on the climb and on the descent. A softer head angle enhances stability when riding fast, and a lowered bottom bracket promotes suspension. You can customize the geometry with the Flip Chip, which offers low/high settings to give you the suspension you prefer. Plus, the improved suspension design better prevents both unwanted diving and rear lift.
Another practical new feature is the Glovebox built right into the frame. Inside, you'll find handy organizers for safely storing tools, spare tubes and other essentials you can't imagine riding without.
