Santa Cruz Bikes Hightower Kit S 29´´ MTB Bike 2022

Automatic translation Original description available here

If ever a bike resembled your most cherished mix tape compilation, the Hightower is it. Featuring our lower-link mounted shock design, updated, adjustable geometry, this “Engineering Best Of...” assembles some of our biggest design pleasers into one belter of a road-trip companion.

The Hightower has been a does-it-all-well trail bike since its inception. More maneuverable than its longer-travel sibling, the Megatower, and more at home in the steep-and-chunky than its snappy cousin Tallboy, Hightower excels when the route covers ‘all points in between,’ and descents come courtesy of some big-ass climbs. The VPP suspension’s lower-link-mounted shock creates a nearly linear leverage curve, meaning it mops up bumps of all sizes and maintains the kind of progressivity normally reserved for our V10 DH bike!

145mm of rear travel complemented by a 150mm front end gives Hightower just a bit more front and rear travel over the first generation model. Combined with a slacker 65-degree head tube angle, the Hightower still sits squarely in the Goldilocks zone.

Balancing stiffness and weight savings in all the right places is a hallmark of all Santa Cruz carbon frames and the Hightower flies the flag yet higher. The advanced composite chassis tracks well across all trail surfaces, holds a line, and is reactive to rider directions while isolating pedal-influenced inputs.

The Hightower also has a bonus disc to heighten the experience—the flip chip. In the High setting, the BB height is a little higher for those tricky tech trails and/or when Plus sized tires are required. In the Low position the shock rate is more progressive, to provide additional bottom-out resistance. Whatever mood you’re in, the tone of the Hightower can be adapted to meet your individual taste.

And speaking of taste, there’s a room for a water bottle inside the main frame and a threaded BB for convenience. There’s refined cable routing for better shifting performance, simpler installation, and no cable rub. On top of that, there’s a tailgate shuttle guard, downtube protector, shock fender, and noise-canceling chainstay protector keeping things quiet.


Features:

Asymmetric Rim:
- An asym­met­ric rim means that instead of the spoke holes being drilled through the cen­ter of the rim, they’re slight­ly off­set. Doing this allows us to improve the brac­ing angle of the spokes. Because our rims are so wide we get to make them even more off­set than nor­mal. Our larg­er off­set allows us to ten­sion both sides of the wheels near­ly equal­ly, which results in a stronger and more durable wheelset.

Toughened Hybrid Carbon:
- We don’t call the mate­r­i­al in our car­bon wheels ​“tough­ened” because they went to boot camp. The name comes from the com­bi­na­tion of resin mate­ri­als we use in our car­bon layup to get the right feel and strength. Part of that for­mu­la is the tough­ened resin we use in the bead­wall, which allows them to flex and shrug off impacts. Sup­port­ing those bead­walls is car­bon with a stiffer resin to make sure they hold their shape.

Blackbird Send:
- The Black­bird Send Alu­minum rims are designed to elim­i­nate pinch flats and keep the tire sealed no mat­ter what you hit. We offer two ver­sions. The Send 1 and 2 rim share a unique hol­low box-sec­tion bead­wall that cre­ates a broad con­tact point with the tire, which is much stronger and doesn’t slice tire side­walls. The Burli­er ver­sion, the Send II, adds a pair of ribs direct­ly beneath the bead seat to keep them round after even the hard­est hits.

Logo Vs. I9:
- Our I9 wheels are built with Indus­try Nine’s Hydra Hubs. These Amer­i­can made hubs are a rid­er favorite due to their light weight, dura­bil­i­ty, and instant response. We lace these hubs with blad­ed Sapim CX-Ray spokes, which are among the light­est and tough­est on the market.
- Our I9 Wheels are built with the best com­po­nents you can buy, but if you’re on a bud­get, our Logo wheels deliv­er an almost iden­ti­cal ride feel at a sim­i­lar weight, for hun­dreds less. We designed our hubs to be tough as hell and spec them with high qual­i­ty Enduro bear­ings. They’re laced to our rims with Sapim’s strongest and light­est dou­ble-butted moun­tain bike spoke.

Replacement Parts:
- Need a dif­fer­ent free­hub body dri­ver, axle adapter, or col­or match­ing decals. Find them in our online store.
