Why We Like The Santa Cruz Hightower CC Mountain Bike Frame

With optimal travel for nearly any trail and major revisions to aid in all-mountain performance, the Santa Cruz Hightower is one of our go-to bikes for everyday riding. The Santa Cruz Hightoweris back and has been updated with improvements across the board. The Hightower has a new VPP suspension pivot layout that moves the rear shock forward, lower, and more parallel to the ground to help reduce anti-squat levels for a more efficient and smoother ride. The revised pivot placement gives us a more progressive leverage rate, which equals more traction and a more active suspension through rough, technical terrain. A slacker 64.2-degree headtube angle in the high setting equips us with a slacker front end for more downhill composure, and longer, size-specific chainstays lengthen out the wheelbase for more stability on steep terrain. The combination of the slacker front end and the longer rear end shifts the weight bias towards the bike's center, providing a more balanced feel and stability in technical terrain. The Hightower still rolls on its dual 29-inch wheels for the best balance of speed and efficiency, and other carryover features include the Glovebox internal frame storage, chainstay and downtube protection, a geometry flip chip, a threaded bottom bracket, and SRAM's UDH.


*Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.
