Do it all carbon trail bike built for speed, traction, and real control

A Carbon C frame, 150mm rear travel with VPP suspension, and a 160mm FOX 36 Performance Elite fork deliver efficient pedaling and confident control. Wireless SRAM GX AXS T-Type shifting and powerful Maven brakes complete a build meant for aggressive everyday trail riding.

As an authorized Santa Cruz dealer, we support manufacturer warranty, proper setup, and a clean handoff for national buyers. National shipping available. Contact us for current build and delivery options.
Who this bike is for
Hightower is for riders who want one bike that can handle almost everything. It is fast enough for big trail days, composed enough for rough descents, and efficient enough to keep climbing without feeling like you are dragging extra travel. It is the right choice if you want a 29er platform that stays stable at speed and grips in technical corners. It is not the right fit if your priority is bike park level travel, or if you want the lightest short travel trail bike over stability and capability.
VPP suspension that climbs clean and descends with traction
Santa Cruz VPP is built to stay efficient under pedaling while remaining active over impacts. The 150mm rear travel platform gives you real support on rough trails without turning the bike into a slow feeling sled. For riders who want to cover miles and still push descents, this is the Hightower advantage.
160mm front end confidence without overbiking
A FOX 36 Performance Elite fork with 160mm travel adds front end stability and control when the trail gets steep or choppy. This is a sweet spot setup for aggressive trail riders who want more composure than a 140mm bike without stepping all the way into enduro geometry and weight.
T-Type wireless shifting and braking control
SRAM GX AXS T-Type provides wireless shifting built to handle modern trail loads and keep performance consistent over time. SRAM Maven Bronze Stealth brakes bring strong stopping power with big rotors for confidence in steep sections and long descents. This build is aligned with riders who push speed and want control without fuss.

How Hightower compares
Hightower is the Santa Cruz do it all 29er for riders who want one bike to cover the most terrain. If you want more travel and a more gravity biased feel, you typically look toward an enduro platform. If you want a faster, more direct feel for smoother trails, a shorter travel trail bike may feel snappier. Hightower sits in the middle and is designed to be the everyday answer for aggressive trail riders.
