Product Info

When it comes to mountain biking, you can ignore the "less is more" philosophy. More is always more. The Santa Cruz Hightower 4 Complete Mountain Bike doesn't disappoint, featuring more travel, more attitude, and more capability than ever. Santa Cruz has slackened head tube angles to 64°, increased travel to 160mm front / 150mm rear, and carefully reconfigured the VPP suspension for a smoother, more efficient ride. It all adds up to a rootin' tootin' good time, delivering serious downhill confidence without compromising overall versatility. From the dependable R build's Fox suspension and GX drivetrain to the primo CC X0 AXS build featuring wireless shifting, CC frame and Fox Factory suspension, the Hightower 4 is one of heck of a good time.

Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.

Carbon CC Frame [Select Build Kits Only]Santa Cruz's highest level of carbon fiber frame construction, CC carbon is not only extremely lightweight and strong, but it comes with a lifetime warranty. The durability, feel, and performance of carbon is unmatched in the mountain bike world, and Santa Cruz are at the top of the game.

Lower-Link Mounted VPP® SuspensionVPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

The Glovebox™Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!

Proportional Chainstay LengthsWith rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.
