Product Info

The Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower C GX AXS Reserve Complete Mountain Bike doesn't want your names and categories. It'll climb fast and descend even quicker, and the 29" wheels will cruise over any obstacle in your path. The upgraded suspension is reliably damping and supportive with an extra 5mm in the rear, and the GX AXS drivetrain has the range and dependability you need for new terrain. The Glovebox™ keeps your essentials at hand and the size-specific chainstay lengths and frame stiffness dial the feel for every rider. Reserve wheels are made to take a beating and i9 hubs have the most engagement in the biz. The name "trail bike" just doesn't cut it, but the sentiment remains - this bike will eat gaps for breakfast, corners for dinner, and still be hungry for more.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon C FrameA minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. 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.

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.

RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ Rear ShockSuper Deluxe Select+ is built for the latest breed of hard hitting enduro and trail bikes. Offering the ride control you need paired with a user-friendly threshold adjustment all rolled into a great high performance-to-value package. We even threw in Maxima Plush fluid to reduce friction and silence noise.

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!

Fork

Fox 36 Float Performance EliteWith lower leg pressure bleeders, a floating axle, and the famous GRIP2 damper, these forks are straight out of the EWS pits. Smooth and tuneable, there's no better fork on the planet. Performance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, features, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized stanchions instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

Drive Train

SRAM GX AXSRiders want a derailleur that shifts on command, whether under climbing load or sprinting to the stage finish. The GX Eagle AXS derailleur gets it done with everything you have come to expect from our AXS connect components. The GX Eagle AXS derailleur is smart enough to protect itself thanks to its incredibly resilient Overload Clutch. Showcasing its lineage from the proven GX Eagle mechanical line, the GX Eagle AXS derailleur is there for one thing - to do the job.

Brakes

Avid Centerline Rotors | 180mmThe new CenterLine Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.

Additional Features
