DetailsSanta Cruz Bicycles Hightower A D Complete Mountain Bike 2020
The Hightower has always been a trail slayer, a blazing fast 29er with the downhill pedigree that comes with being a Santa Cruz. But with new geo and a lower, re-positioned shock akin to its longer-travel siblings, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower A D Complete Mountain Bike has become an absolute beast. Filling the sweetest spot in the Santa Cruz line, this aluminum trail bike now features 140mm of rear VPP travel and a 150mm RockShox fork up front. The head tube’s been slackened to 65°, giving it even more gravity chops.
Product Details
Frame/Shock:
Aluminum Frame
140mm 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 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: Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes / Rebound Adjust / Air Spring Pressure
148mm Rear Axle Spacing
Angular Contact Bearings Maximize Stiffness
Bottle Cage Mount: Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.
Threaded Bottom Bracket
Integrated Headset
Fork:
RockShox Gold RL: With its 35mm chassis, proven Motion Control damper, and highly tuneable DebonAir spring, this fork is a big burly fork that's been designed to handle the demands of heavier eMTBs and aggressive trail riders.
Fork Adjustments: External Rebound, Low Speed Compression to Lockout, Air Spring Pressure
Drive Train:
SRAM SX Eagle™: The new SX Eagle™ drivetrain keeps the promise of a simple shift. SX Eagle™ means easy, intuitive shifting every time for every rider.
Brakes:
SRAM Guide T Brakeset: Guide T brings the consistent performance that you have come to expect from SRAM's lightweight Guide four-piston caliper. Pair this with MatchMaker™ for a clean looking bar set-up, plus the ease of use with SRAM's Bleeding Edge™ drip-free bleed port and you have a smart budget minded brake that keeps you in 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 II Tires: The trail version of the Maxxis Minion DHR II features the same tread pattern as its downhill counterpart, but uses a single-ply casing to reduce weight. With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped knobs to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.
WTB ST i29 TCS 2.0 Rims Laced to SRAM MTH Hubs: At 29mm internal width, these aluminum rims pair perfectly with modern trail tires, giving great grip and feel. The hubs are solid performers too, adding up to a capable and durable package designed for the long haul.
Additional Features:
Race Face Aeffect Dropper Post: A rock solid option for riders wanting to enter the dropper market. A sealed damping system wrapped in 7075 aluminium makes for a lightweight dropper that can take the hits, complete with internal cable routing compatible with modern frame design.
