DetailsSanta Cruz Bicycles Hightower LT C R Complete Mountain Bike 2018
Born out of a demand from their pro riders for a slightly more aggressive 29er, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower LT C R Complete Mountain Bike differs from its forefather with 15mm of additional rear travel, 10mm of additional fork cushioning and a burlier spec'd build kit. These seemingly small changes allow more progressive riders to carry more speed and confidently grease drops without giving up much in the way of pedal-ability. Bred for racing, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower LT C R Complete Mountain Bike boasts a C-level carbon frameset, SRAM NX 1x11 drivetrain, and comes equipped with modern conveniences like the Race Face Æffect remote dropper seatpost. See what the new age 29er craze is all about and saddle up the speed-thirsty Hightower LT.
Product Details
Frame/Shock:
Carbon C Frame: A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
150mm 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.
Fox Float Performance DPS: For a lightweight, inline shock, the DPS packs a lot of performance. The Dual Piston Base Valve has dedicated compression and rebound pistons, providing a firm lockout without compromising bump compliance, ride control, or efficiency. 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. A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
Shock Adjustments: 3-Position Lever (Open, Medium, Firm) | Rebound Adjust | Air Spring Pressure
Internal Carbon Tubes: Ensure precise and hassle-free routing of derailleur and seat post cables.
Double Sealed Pivots for Long Bearing Life
Bottle Cage Mount: Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.
ISCG-05 Tabs for Chainguide Compatibility
Integrated Headset
15mm Thru-Axle Fork
148mm Rear Axle Spacing
2.5" Maximum Tire Size
Threaded Bottom Bracket
Fork:
RockShox Revelation RC: Revelation has grown. After many years as the original long travel trail fork, the new Revelation is ready to tackle the most demanding trail and enduro rides. The chassis is directly derived from the new Pike, with 35mm upper tubes for unmatched stiffness and to pair with the aggressive look of modern trail and enduro bikes.
Fork Adjustments: Motion Control RC Damping | External Rebound Adjust | Low Speed Compression Adjustment to Firm
Drive Train:
Race Face Æffect Crankset: The Æffect crankset is designed to handle aggressive trail riding at a XC crank weight and attractive pricepoint. Featuring the Cinch System with its interchangeable spider options and Race Face's trusted 24mm EXI interface spindle, the Æffect is a rock solid crankset for today's XC and trail riders.
SRAM NX 11-Speed Shifter: SRAM NX trigger shifter with X-ACTUATION™ technology gives you sharp, dependable shifting. Built for precise and swift shifting across SRAM's wide range 11-speed cassette, the NX trigger shifter brings industry changing technology to everyone.
SRAM NX 11-Speed Rear Derailleur: The SRAM NX X-HORIZON™ rear derailleur provides the same smooth, reliable shifting action as XX1—from the larger upper pulley offset to the 12-tooth X-SYNC™ pulley wheels. By eliminating unwanted chain movement, X-HORIZON™ shifts faster, puts an end to ghost shifting and reduces shift force and chain slap. And with CAGE LOCK™ technology, wheel removal and installation are easier than ever.
SRAM XG1150 CS 10-42T Cassette: FULL PIN™ technology uses eleven lightweight, stamped steel cogs held together with 123 high-strength stainless steel pins. The result: a cassette that’s light, durable and equipped with SRAM’s super wide 10-42t gear range that’s a perfect fit for any ride. The open design similar to our X-DOME™ cassette aids in mud clearance, giving you cleaner shifting performance and longer component life.
Brakes:
SRAM Level T Brakeset: Level T capitalizes on the same trail-taming brake technology that conquered the 2015 World Mountain Bike Championships, to deliver a powerful and consistent XC and trail-optimized brake set that keeps your capital in the bank. This budget-minded, MatchMaker™ compatible brake set provides all the power of its siblings, keeping you in complete control.
Avid CenterLine Rotors: The new CenterLine Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.
Wheelset:
Maxxis Minion DHR Tires: The Minion DHR was designed to meet the demands of extreme conditions and rough terrain. Designed by Maxxis' European racing development efforts. The DHR features ramped knobs with the channels in the knobs designed for braking and accelerating.
Additional Features:
Race Face Æffect Dropper Seatpost: A budget friendly but rock solid option for riders wanting to enter the dropper market. A sealed damping system wrapped in 7075 aluminum makes for a lightweight dropper that can take the hits. Internal cable routing compatible for modern frame design.
