Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower CC XX AXS Transmission Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike Matte Deep Purple, M

One of the most versatile trail bikes around just got a facelift, and we are stoked to share the details. The Santa Cruz Hightower has been updated with improvements to ramp up its capability and composure all around the mountain. A slacker 64. 2-degree headtube angle in the high setting equips us with a more stable front end, while longer, size-specific chainstays lengthen out the wheelbase, both aiding in more stability on steep terrain. Combining the slacker front end and the longer rear end shifts the weight bias towards the bike's center, providing a more balanced and stable feel. The Hightower has a new VPP suspension pivot layout that gives us a more progressive leverage rate for a smoother, plusher ride with more traction. With the travel numbers and geometry update, the Hightower now sits alongside the Bronson as the dedicated 29-inch option in Santa Cruz's aggressive trail/enduro offering. A new larger Sag Widow transforms the look of the bottom bracket area and makes finding our rear shock's sag way easier than before. Carryover features on the Hightower include the Glovebox internal frame storage, chainstay and downtube protection, a geometry flip chip, a threaded bottom bracket, and SRAM's UDH. The XX Transmission Carbon Wheel build of the Santa Cruz Hightower 4 holds nothing back, outfitting this ride with the best components on the market. This build starts with Santa Cruz's premium Carbon CC frame, sporting premium material makeup and made lighter through the absence of drivetrain cable ports, making the CC frame only compatible with electronic drivetrains. An elite-level build would be incomplete without SRAM's ultra-premium XX transmission drivetrain, which provides exceptional weight savings,smooth shifting performance, and surprising durability. Reserve 30HD carbon fiber rims paired with I9 Hydra hubs throw down exceptional performance, high engagement, and stiff handling all over the mountain.
