    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER R / C / 29

    Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER R / C / 29 Review The combination of VPP rear end and low-lying shock absorber has become a Santa Cruz trademark and also gives the HIGHTOWER R its typical look. We have checked all geometry measures and come to the following conclusion: the Santa Cruz All Mountain is a very balanced customer. The seating position of the in alpine terrain moves in a moderate range between sporty and comfortable. There are All Mountain in the price under 6000 Euro that have more potential downhill. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
