The newest version of the Hightower is the greatest hits of engineering - now further refined and bottled into Santa Cruz's most all-terrain of bikes. Big on wheels, medium on travel, short on fuss, this is the do-it-all model that does it over and over again thanks to a versatile balance of geo, spec, and durability.

FEATURES:
- VPP suspension utilizes a one-piece swingarm that eliminates the need for pivots on the stays, creating a stout, bulletproof rear end for accurate tracking and superior performance.
- The highly sculpted and optimized Lower Link houses a geometry adjusting Flip Chip and beefy Pivot Axles to virtually eliminate lateral flex.
- Proportional geometry so every rider, no matter their size gets the best riding bike. The geo makes it confident across all terrain, without losing the light, fast, agile feel of a trail bike.
