Santa Cruz Hightower 3 CC X0 AXS RSV 29" Bike - Gloss Ocean Blue

View Sizing and Geometry Charts

• 145mm VPP Travel - Looking for something good at climbing, and downhill, and going round and round your local trails? Say hello to Hightower. 145mm in the rear paired with 150mm up front is your perfect combo
  
  
• Suspension Sensitivity and Consistency - Compared to the last Hightower, SC reduced the anti-squat in the first 40% of travel, noticeably improving suspension sensitivity in both climbing and descending scenarios due to reduced chain influence on the suspension. Hightower's leverage curve is relatively straight, with added progression towards the end of the travel, providing improved bottom-out resistance with more consistent damping and support
  
  
• Flip Chip - In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. Tweakers and finicky shredders can adapt the suspension feel to their needs and desire
  
  
• Proportional Geometry - Chainstay length and seat angle is matched to the frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry. Across all sizes however, the headtube angle has been slackened to help stability at speed, lowered the bottom bracket to compliment the better supported suspension, and increased stack in favor of modern handlebar setups
  
  
• Glovebox - Place your ride essentials securely beneath a new high-quality latch and panel in the Hightower's downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to hand
  
  
• Reserve Wheels - The Reserve 30|HD is specially designed for aggressive trail riding. They feature a 30mm width for use with 2.5 tires and a redesigned inner rim bed that takes the hassle out of seating new tires. The Reserve 30|HD is the ultimate mountain bike rim. Built and hand-tuned in their Santa Cruz, Calif. factory
  
  
• Frame Material: Carbon CC, 145mm travel - CC denotes highest grade carbon fiber frames. Use of the very best materials in the composite results in the lightest, best handling bikes. CC level bikes are also specced with the best wheels, drivetrains and suspension on these models
