2024 Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon CC X0AXS RSV KIT

Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon XO AXS RSV 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 XO AXS RSV kit model which features the incredibly sought after XO T-Type groupset, RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate rear shock, RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fork and  the fancy Sram Code Silver Stealth brakes keeping things steady at speeds. All this is topped off with the remarkable Reserve wheelset to keep things rolling beautifully. 

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.
