£6999.00 – Santa Cruz Hightower 3 CC XX AXS RSV Mountain Bike – 2024 – Matte Cardinal Red / Large

Description

Big on wheels, medium on travel, short on fuss, this is the do-it-all bike that does it over and over again thanks to a versatile balance of geo, spec and durability. If you’re not looking for extremes, just something extremely good, the Hightower is your elevator to the mountains.   All-Terrain Thriller From local laps to mountain get away’s, the Hightower goes. The combination of travel, poised geometry, 29-inch wheels, and a can-do attitude make Hightower an easy choice when you’re not sure exactly what’s down the trail. Light enough to pedal, and long-legged enough to send, you’ll come home with plenty of stories no matter how far you went.   For Modern Biking The Hightower has the brawn to back up the brains. 145mm-travel VPP™ provides a plush, open feel with a lot of traction. This suspension travel sweetspot provides a broad riding envelope, meaning you’ll be pushing yourself and not the bike.   XX AXS RSV Build Features Carbon CC Frame. Rockshox Lyrik Ultimate Fork.
