The Mountain Bike, Distilled
Special Pricing - 20% Off: Get Santa Cruz's legendary Hightower with cutting-edge SRAM Transmission technology for $1,180 off. This is modern trail riding perfection at an exceptional value.
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. With 150mm of VPP travel in the rear and 160mm up front, this 29er climbs like a XC bike and descends like an enduro machine.
SRAM Transmission - Next Generation Shifting
T-Type Technology: This Hightower features SRAM's revolutionary Transmission drivetrain with T-Type design. The integrated derailleur hanger eliminates a common failure point, while the robust mounting system ensures shifting stays crisp even after hard impacts.
SRAM 90 Eagle Transmission offers the reliability and performance of their flagship technology at a more accessible price. The 10-52T cassette provides massive range for steep climbs, while the direct-mount design means no more bent derailleur hangers ending your ride early.
