The Santa Cruz Hightower A D 29 Mountain Bike is a do it all and do it all well trail bike! The Hightower excels when the trail covers 'all points in between,' and descents come courtesy of some big-ass climbs. Enjoy the VPP suspension's lower-link-mounted shock, that creates a nearly Linear leverage curve, meaning it mops up bumps of all sizes. It has 140mm of rear travel complemented by a 150mm front end that gives Hightower just a bit more front and rear travel. 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-canceling chainstay protector keeping things quiet. The Santa Cruz Hightower A D 29 Mountain Bike '22 is the ultimate bike to take with you when you're hitting the trails.
