Easy to build and beautifully balanced, the Santa Cruz Hightower is the original all-rounder, able to deal with all terrains and situations. Choose between the proven 29” wheels or the new monster-truck 27.5”+ standard, Hightower seamlessly adapts to the trails and the way you ride, no matter where you are in the world.
What’s the wheel deal? 29” or 27.5”?
If straight line speed, rallying through rock gardens and sprinting out of turns is your bag, then 29” wheels are the big ticket. Upgrade to carbon rims and you have a precision instrument on your hands.
When conditions get loose and the traction just isn’t there, you’ll want to reach for the wider tyres. 27.5”+ elevates Hightower to a whole different level, enabling you to rise above the pow, rail the soft spots and carry momentum where standard tires bog down.
Whichever size you choose, geometry remains optimised thanks to a neat little “High/Low” setting on the upper link that flips to adjust bottom bracket height*. Hightower’s 67° head angle, longer reach and trim chain stays combined to create an altogether different class of dreadnought in any configuration. Meanwhile, 150mm of seat dropper, a water bottle mount, and internal routing reflect an armada of killer details.
135mm of VPP® travel is reinforced by a 148 rear axle spacing and the kind of Nomad-style linkage arrangement and swingarm design we reserve for the heaviest hitters in our model line up. The resulting package leaves Hightower standing head and shoulders above anything else out there.
