    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz Hightower GX AXS / Carbon C / 29

    Santa Cruz Hightower GX AXS / Carbon C / 29 Review Santa Cruz is one of the cult brands in the bike circus and the Hightower GX AXS is again the classic in the portfolio of the Californians. With a 64,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Santa Cruz Fully, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. On climbs, other bikes in the under 8000 Euro present a little better performance than the Hightower GX AXS. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
