Santa Cruz Hightower AL 29” Mountain Bike Frame 2021
The Hightower AL 29” Mountain Bike Frame is one of the most versatile options in the Santa Cruz line-up. With 140mm of supple travel and a slack 65° head angle it can take on the rowdiest trails, but its VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) design ensures that the climbs are tackled rapidly too. Build it up with longer forks and burlier components for a more enduro style ride or utilise its efficiency to create a trail-oriented bike that can still take the big hits. The inclusion of a flip-chip enables the geometry to be altered to suit, raising or lowering the bottom bracket height in the process.
A threaded bottom bracket and easy internal cable routing make home maintenance simpler whilst the shuttle guard, shock mudguard and chainstay protector to keep the chain quiet are thoughtful inclusions.
