2024 Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon C GX AXS Kit

Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon GX AXS Kit

Vouched by many as the best trail bike out there. No pressure….

Is it in the numbers, the geometry, or the design? We think it’s a mix of everything. This bike makes us think of long days in the mountains, weekends out with friends and just a fun bike you will want to have at your side for almost all events. Big on wheels, medium on travel short on fuss, this is the do-it-all bike with a versatile balance of geo, spec and durability. If you’re not looking for extremes, just something extremely good, the Hightower is your elevator to the mountains. 

The Hightower range is available with a variety of build kits on Carbon frames.  This is the Carbon GX AXS kit model which features the incredibly sought after GX T-Type groupset, RockShox Super Deluxe Select rear shock, RockShox Lyrik Select fork and Sram Code Bronze brakes keeping things steady at speeds.

If you’d prefer a lighter, sprightlier short travel trail bike, then the Santa Cruz Tallboy may suit. For bigger hitting  action, the Santa Cruz Megatower may be the one. From our other brands, check out the Mondraker Foxy.
