Santa Cruz Hightower CC X01 AXS RSV Mountain Bike 2022
The Santa Cruz Hightower CC X01 AXS RSV Mountain Bike is engineered to deliver the ultimate on-trail experience, with its no-expense-spared build kit and class-leading CC grade carbon layup providing a ride like no other. Featuring 145mm of smooth, supple VPP lower-link driven suspension and fast-rolling 29” wheels, this model is the pinnacle of the Hightower lineup, providing unrivalled performance to accelerate your riding potential.
With an eye for detail, Santa Cruz has equipped this bike with a downtube protector and shuttle guard to prevent damage during uplift days, and a rear shock guard prevents mud from reaching the stanchion. A ribbed chainstay guard keeps things quiet, even through gnarly terrain, and a flip-chip offers geometry adjustment to dial the angles in for the ride. Infallible in their design, the ultra-durable Reserve Carbon rims are laced to premium Industry Nine hubs, making for rapid acceleration on the trail.
An own-brand Santa Cruz carbon bar is paired with the sublime Burgtec Enduro MK3 stem for precise control, and Maxxis Minion DHR tyres deliver claw-like grip in loose terrain. A sleek SRAM wireless AXS drivetrain takes care of shifting duties, while a Kashima coated FOX 36 Float Factory fork provides unparalleled suspension performance.
