Product Info

Born for big days in big terrain, we proudly introduce the girthy tire-equipped Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower C R+ Complete Mountain Bike. This particular build is equipped with 27.5"+ wheels for elevated traction and momentum through berms and softer conditions, but it's worth noting that the adaptive "High/Low" geometry will also accommodate 29" wheels if you prefer more straightline speed and enhanced rollover. When it comes to the build kit, this bad boy comes complete with a lightweight carbon frameset and highly capable 1x11 SRAM NX drivetrain. If you're the type of rider who loves logging miles of meandering singletrack, but doesn't want to hold back when things get spicy, look no further than the Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower C R+ Complete Mountain Bike.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon C FrameA 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.

135mm VPP® SuspensionVPP 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 DPSFor 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.

29er & 27.5+ CompatibleAccepts both 29er and 27.5+ wheel/tire combos.

Drive Train

SRAM NX DrivetrainIt's how you start that matters.

NX brings you a wide range of gear choices engineered for simplicity and durability, so you can focus on what matters most -- the ride ahead. German engineered and proudly bearing the SRAM 1x stamp of approval, NX is ready to let the world know what real riding feels like.

Brakes

SRAM Level T BrakesetLevel 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 RotorsThe 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 Rekon+ TiresThe Rekon+ is an aggressive trail tire inspired by the Ikon+ for intermediate and technical terrain. Wide knobs down the middle provide control under braking and L-shaped side knobs assure support when carving loose turns. With confidence like this you can race more and scout less with the Rekon+.

Additional Features
