Bike Santa Cruz Hightower 4 C 29 GX AXS - Matte Black
Big on wheels, short on fuss, this is the pinnacle of go-anywhere-anytime bikes. A balance of travel, wheel size and attitude makes this a true MTB for modern mountain biking. Whether that includes the rarefied air of the alpine or just local trailheads, built and burly trails or sublime natural singletrack, the Hightower is an all-terrain thriller.
We build Santa Cruz bicycles to be durable and long lasting, and then back them up with legendary support and a warranty of the highest standard.
Santa Cruz Bicycles offers free replacement pivot bearings to the original owner for as long as they own their bike.
