Santa Cruz presents the new Hightower

Santa Cruz is on a roll this year with new bikes coming out left and right. Unsurprisingly, and due for sure is the Hightower’s latest update. It takes on the latest iteration of VPP suspension following Santa Cruz’s latest direction with new lines and frame layout. The Hightower is perfectly timed as Mid-Travel 29″ bikes seem to be the hot category at the moment. We’re working on lining up a test bike ath the moment, so stay tuned for our thoughts on the bike. Also out now is its lady’s counterpart – the new Juliana Maverick.
