Product Details
The Santa Cruz Hightower 4 C S is a trail bike built for riders looking to tackle diverse terrains with confidence and control. Crafted from robust Carbon C material, this frame pairs durability with lightweight agility. Equipped with 150mm of rear travel and a FOX 36 Float Performance fork offering 160mm of front travel, the Hightower 4 ensures a smooth, responsive ride, whether you’re navigating rocky descents or flowing singletrack. Its VPP suspension system, renowned for efficiency and shock absorption, minimizes pedal bob on climbs and excels at keeping the bike stable on rugged trails.
The Hightower 4’s drivetrain is powered by the reliable SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed, featuring a wide 10-50t cassette that provides a broad gear range for handling both steep ascents and fast trails. Paired with SRAM GX Eagle shifters, the bike’s shifting is crisp and consistent, perfect for challenging rides. Top-tier Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tires offer excellent traction, while SRAM HS2 200mm rotors and DB8 Stealth brakes provide the powerful stopping power needed on technical trails. For personalized control, the OneUp Dropper Post features adjustable lengths suited to each frame size, ensuring adaptability for every rider.
Built with premium components, the Hightower 4 includes DT Swiss 370 hubs and durable Reserve 30 or Raceface AR30 rims, providing reliability and resilience for rough conditions. The frame's Glovebox storage is a practical addition, keeping essential tools secure, while the integrated adjustable flip chip allows for easy geometry tweaks—high for rocky trails and low for added stability at speed. Enduro MAX sealed bearings further ensure lasting performance, adding to the bike’s low-maintenance design.
The Santa Cruz Hightower 4 C S is a dynamic trail bike that combines strength, versatility, and innovation, making it an exceptional choice for riders ready to take on any adventure.
