Hightower Carbon CC Frame 2025

Santa Cruz's Hightower has for many years been the benchmark for versatile 'do anything' mountain bikes. At it's heart the Hightower is a trail bike, with a near perfect balance of pedal efficiency, grip and travel, making this a fantastic option for UK riders looking to hit the bikepark as well as put in some laps around the local trail centre.

Here we present to you the V3 Hightower frame, refined and tweaked to draw out even more potential. New lower shock position and VPP link give incredible pedal efficiency and anti-squat with a longer wheel base offering stability at high speeds. Travel is upped to 160mm on the front and 150mm rear, paired with rapid rolling 29" wheels the Hightower can easily handle technical terrain though remain composed on flatter pedalling sections.

The top of range CC frames use Santa Cruz's most advanced carbon and manufacturing techniques. This makes for a slightly lighter and stiffer frame over the C spec carbon.

As you would expect, the frame is covered by the best lifetime warranty in the business. Also, Santa Cruz supply free pivot bearings kits once per year to keep things running like new.
