Expirience with the Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER S / C / 29

Ludwig Döhl The combination of VPP rear end and low-lying shock absorber has become a Santa Cruz trademark and also gives the HIGHTOWER S its typical look. When it comes down to handling, Santa Cruz does not compromise. With its balanced handling style, the All Mountain of Santa Cruz is ready for the majority of singletrails. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship.
