SANTA CRUZ HIGHTOWER CARBON C S RESERVE 29" MOUNTAIN BIKE 2020

The Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon C S Reserve 29" Mountain Bike is a hardy stalwart of the trail and is tremendously versatile to boot. This multifaceted attitude is imparted thanks to a pool of design traits which ingrain self-assured performance across any genre of off-road riding.

The full carbon frame is ultimately receptive to any rider input allowing it to consume any trail, no matter how technical or rough, with meticulous execution. The amalgamated VPP lower-link-mounted rear shock works in unison with the composite material to result in a ride that floats over bumps and tracks with extreme accuracy. The RockShox Lyrik Select+ fork allies this chassis. The plush recoil of this fork grants unmatched trail control and precision and allows every line to be held entirely.

Santa Cruz Reserve full carbon 29-inch rims are nimble but robust and are laced to the ever-reliable DT Swiss 370 hubs. The boost configuration of these wheels then naturally increases the lateral stiffness to promote enhanced trail accuracy and punctual acceleration.

The job of gear changing is tasked to the SRAM GX Eagle groupset, and it manages its task within an adept manner, clicking effortlessly through the wide-ranging gear ratios. The efficiency of the crank arms and their partnering DUB axle imparts instant power transfer before stopping duties are supplied by a full hydraulic configuration that is proficiently modulated in action.

Differing trail requirements are catered for by the RockShox Reverb dropper seatpost with its adjustability altering saddle height according to trail complexity. The dependable Race Face bar and stem set up is trustworthy and reliable and ensures quick and exact steering even when obstacles appear unexpectedly.

The addition of Flip Chip technology then grants ultimate trail fine-tuning. This feature allows the rider to alter the height and action of the rear suspension unit quickly and easily in line with the landscape to be encountered.
