Product Details
Introducing the all-new Santa Cruz Hightower 3 C GX AXS kit, a trail-ready bike designed to conquer a wide range of terrains with ease. This latest iteration features an innovative lower-link mounted shock design that enhances both performance and adjustability. With its advanced geometry and versatile capabilities, the Hightower 3 C GX AXS is the perfect choice for riders who demand a bike that can handle everything from rugged trails to challenging bike park features.
Equipped with Santa Cruz's VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension system, the Hightower provides a consistently smooth and responsive ride, expertly absorbing bumps of all sizes. This design ensures a progressive and comfortable riding experience, allowing for confident navigation over various trail surfaces. The suspension system's ability to isolate pedal-induced forces helps maintain a steady line and quick responsiveness, enhancing overall ride quality.
One of the standout features of the Hightower is its adjustable flip chip, which allows riders to customize the bike's performance based on their preferences and riding conditions. In the High setting, the bottom bracket (BB) height is raised, making it ideal for technical trails and accommodating Plus-sized tires. Conversely, the Low position offers a more progressive shock rate, providing improved resistance against bottoming out and allowing for a more controlled ride over rough terrain.
The Hightower’s advanced chassis is designed to excel across diverse trail surfaces, offering stability and agility. Its robust frame and precise engineering also contribute to a bike that is both durable and lightweight, enhancing your overall ride efficiency. Whether you’re tackling steep climbs, navigating technical descents, or exploring your local bike park, the Hightower 3 C GX AXS kit stands ready to be your reliable and versatile companion. With its combination of cutting-edge technology and adaptable features, this bike ensures an exceptional ride experience for every adventure.
