The Santa Cruz Hightower is a versatile 29er trail bike built for speed, stability and confidence. With 145mm of VPP suspension and modern trail geometry, it’s ready for anything from big mountain days to everyday singletrack.
The Hightower is Santa Cruz’s ultimate all-round trail bike — designed to climb efficiently, descend confidently and handle everything from long mountain adventures to technical singletrack. With its balanced geometry and 29-inch wheels, the Hightower delivers impressive speed and stability without sacrificing the playful feel riders expect from a modern trail bike.
At the heart of the Hightower is Santa Cruz’s proven VPP™ suspension platform, providing 150mm of front travel paired with 145mm at the rear. This combination creates a bike that pedals efficiently on the climbs while remaining composed and controlled when the trail gets rough. Whether you’re tackling rocky descents or flowing woodland trails, the Hightower feels capable, predictable and fast.
A refined carbon frame keeps weight low while maintaining the strength and durability Santa Cruz bikes are known for. Internal cable routing, integrated frame protection and smart storage solutions make the Hightower ready for long days on the trail, while modern geometry ensures confident handling across a huge range of terrain.
From everyday trail rides to big mountain days, the Hightower is built for riders who want one bike that can truly do it all.
