Of all the things that make mountain biking great, it's got to be the turns that are the best. Or actually, it's skipping through a rock garden. Or completing a multi-trail epic, starting at dawn and collapsing back where you started as the sun goes down, bruised, battered, and buzzing. And laying off the brakes as you jam towards the lip of a jump, determined to finally clear a gap. The Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower A D Complete Mountain Bike knows that all of these things are great at any given time, and does more than any other bike out there to excel at every single aspect of aggressive trail riding.
Product Details
Frame/Shock
Aluminum Frame
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
Fox Float DPS Performance Rear Shock – Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.
Shock Adjustments – Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
Bottle Cage Mount – Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.
Integrated Flip Chip for High/Low Setting Adjustment
Molded Rubber Swingarm and Downtube Protection
Angular Contact Bearings Maximize Stiffness
ISCG-05 Tabs for Chainguide Compatibility
