SANTA CRUZ BIKES HIGHTOWER 1.0 CC / XO1 AM 29 /

SANTA CRUZ HIGHTOWER CC 29 2017 COMPLETE BIKE
with XO1 AM 29 KIT

Hightower has the versatility to deal with whatever
appears on the horizon. Running either proven 29”
wheels or the new monster-truck 27.5+ standard,
Hightower seamlessly adapts to the trails and style you
ride, no matter where you are in the world.
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 ain’t
there, you’ll want to reach for bigger tires. 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.
No matter what size you run, geometry remains optimized
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 combine
to create an altogether different class of dreadnought in
any configuration.
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.
*Please note: 140mm fork comes standard on the 29” kits,
and is exchanged for a 150mm version on the 27+ builds
to keep the 67° head angle consistent.
