    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER X01 / AXS / RSV / CC / 29

    Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER X01 / AXS / RSV / CC / 29 Review The combination of VPP rear end and low-lying shock absorber has become a Santa Cruz trademark and also gives the HIGHTOWER X01 its typical look. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz Fully. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz HIGHTOWER X01. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the HIGHTOWER X01 is probably not the right bike for you. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame!
