Description

The Santa Cruz Hightower C S GX Eagle 29er Mountain Bike. More maneuverable than its longer-travel sibling, the Megatower, and more at home in the steep-and-chunky than its snappy cousin Tallboy, Hightower excels when the route covers ‘all points in between,’ and descents come courtesy of some big-ass climbs. The VPP suspension’s lower-link-mounted shock shock position creates a nearly linear leverage curve, meaning it mops up bumps of all sizes and maintains the kind of progressivity normally reserved for our V10 DH bike! 140mm of rear travel complemented by a 150mm front end gives the Hightower C S just a bit more front and rear travel over the first generation model. Combined with a slacker 65-degree head tube angle, the Hightower still sits squarely in the Goldilocks zone, but with a touch more “Oh sh*t get me out of here” capability when the porridge gets too hot! Balancing stiffness and weight savings in all the right places is a hallmark of all Santa Cruz Carbon frames and the Hightower C S flies the flag yet higher. The advanced composite chassis tracks well across all trail surfaces, holds a line, and is reactive to rider directions while isolating pedal influenced inputs.The Hightower also has a bonus disc to heighten the experience—the flip chip. In the High setting, the BB height is a little higher for those tricky tech trails and/or when Plus sized tires are required. In the Low position the shock rate is more progressive, to provide additional bottom-out resistance. Whatever mood you’re in, the tone of the Hightower can be adapted to meet your individual taste. And speaking of taste, there’s a room for a water bottle inside the main frame and a threaded BB for convenience. There’s refined cable routing for better shifting performance, simpler installation, and no cable rub. On top of that, there’s a tailgate shuttle guard, downtube protector, shock fender and noise cancelling chainstay protector keeping things quiet. The lifetime frame warranty, lifetime pivot bearing replacement policy, and lifetime guarantee on the optional Reserve carbon wheels assures you that the Hightower will keep delivering the hits for years to come. anta Cruz Hightower 2020 features 140mm VPP® rear travel, 150mm fork 29-inch wheels (27.5+ compatibility) 65.3-degree head angle (adjustability with flip chip) Available in Aluminium frameset , CC and C carbon Santa Cruz Reserve 30 carbon wheel option Lifetime warranty Made for: Anywhere, anytime, no matter the rider Santa Cruz Hightower C S GX-Eagle 29er Build Highlights Front Suspension: RockShox Lyric Select+ 150mm Suspension 29 Fork Rear Shock: RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ 140mm Shock Headset: Cane Creek 40 IS Integrated Headset Shifting: Sram GX-Eagle12-Speed Gearing Dropper Seatpost: RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper post with 1X MatchMaker Handlebar: Race Face Aeffect R Wheels: Race Face AR Offset 30 / 29
