The Santa Cruz Hightower 4 Carbon C S Kit is built to be fast, capable, and versatile, balancing efficient pedalling with plush suspension for technical descents. The Carbon C frame is engineered for durability and stiffness, featuring VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension that improves traction and small-bump sensitivity while maintaining efficiency when climbing.
The FOX 36 Float Performance fork with 160mm travel smooths out rough trails, while the FOX Float X Performance rear shock provides 150mm of rear travel, offering a predictable and controlled ride. The latest VPP suspension kinematics deliver improved small-bump compliance and progression, keeping the bike active and composed on technical terrain.
Rolling on 29” wheels, the Hightower 4 covers ground efficiently while maintaining stability and confidence through rough sections. The flip chip geometry adjustment allows riders to fine-tune the handling, offering a low and slack setting for steep descents or a high setting for better pedal clearance on technical climbs.
The SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain ensures smooth shifting, with a 10-50T cassette providing a wide range of gears to handle steep ascents and fast descents. SRAM Code R 4-piston hydraulic brakes with oversized 200mm rotors deliver powerful and consistent stopping performance.
Santa Cruz adds thoughtful details like the Glovebox storage system, keeping ride essentials neatly stored in the downtube with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse. The OneUp Dropper Post allows on-the-fly saddle adjustments, enhancing confidence on steep descents.
For riders looking for a high-performance all-mountain bike that blends trail efficiency with big-mountain capability, the Santa Cruz Hightower 4 Carbon C S Kit is ready for any adventure.
