Product Info

The whole Santa Cruz lineup is bananas, with almost every single bike being very capable across different trail types. Their lower-link mounted VPP suspension pedals so well that it's hard to tell how much travel you have under your seat until you drop in to a descent, meaning you can get the exact model that'll suit your local trails best. The Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower A S Complete Mountain Bike is the bike that combines all its stablemates' powers into one bike, the meanest of the collected means, the extraordinary average of all their bikes summed up. This Blurry Nomad is the Megatower for pedalers, if you know what we mean.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Aluminum Frame

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. They even threw in Maxima Plush fluid to reduce friction and silence noise.
