The highly versatile Santa Cruz Hightower C S 29" Mountain Bike has a long, slack, low geometry, and there's 150mm and 145mm of travel, front and rear respectively, soaking up bumps and big hits alike. VPP suspension soaks up bumps of all sizes, and still offers the progressivity of far bigger bikes.
A Flip Chip changes the head angle and bottom bracket height, adjusting the geometry and suspension feel to suit a rider's needs. Proportional geometry ensures that every frame size benefits from the same stiffness and ride feel.
Other features include room inside the main triangle for a water bottle, a downtube protector to prevent damage from rock strikes and a chainstay protector to cancel noise.
The 12-speed GX Eagle drivetrain provides impressive shifting performance, while Code R hydraulic disc brakes create powerful braking in wet, dry, hardpacked and muddy conditions. The 29" wheels are strong and smooth-rolling, fitted with high-traction Maxxis Minion DHR II tyres.
