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 HIGHTOWER X01. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. When it comes to the seating position, Santa Cruz chooses the middle ground between sporty and comfortable. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the HIGHTOWER X01 is probably not the right bike for you. With the Santa Cruz All Mountain, the real fun starts at the peak of the mountain. Because in the downhill, the on demanding trails is better than the competitors in this price range. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
