Big, bold, and back for more business, Santa Cruz's coveted trail 29er, the Hightower, is redesigned and ready to point you in the direction of all-mountain rallying, berm blasting, smile-inducing days. If you knew its predecessor, the V1 Hightower, then you already know how capable the Hightower was to start, but now in its second iteration it packs in all-new geometry and suspension design that takes the bike from its trail roots into the realm of do-anything bike.
