Description:

Selling my 2021 XL Hightower S Build (MSRP was $5750). It has been in storage for the last year but it runs great. It has a full Ride Wrap tailored protection kit but some of the components have some cosmetic wear and tear. I'm gonna get it tuned and might even replace some of the components... but if you want to take it as is for a little less than 4k, I'm happy to figure something out. This is such a great bike, whether it's your first mountain bike or just want an all-mountain 29er that goes everywhere. Super versatile. Here's some info from Santa Cruz: "Our greatest hits compiled into one bike—just hit play. If ever a bike resembled your most cherished mix tape compilation, the Hightower is it. Featuring our lower-link mounted shock design, updated, adjustable geometry, this “Engineering Best Of...” assembles some of our biggest design pleasers into one belter of a road-trip companion. The Hightower has been a does-it-all-well trail bike since its inception. More maneuverable than its longer-travel sibling, the Megatower, and more at home in the steep-and-chunky than its snappy cousin Tallboy, Hightower excels when the route covers ‘all points in between,’ and descents come courtesy of some big-ass climbs. The VPP suspension’s lower-link-mounted shock creates a nearly linear leverage curve, meaning it mops up bumps of all sizes and maintains the kind of progressivity normally reserved for our V10 DH bike! 145mm of rear travel complemented by a 150mm front end gives Hightower just a bit more front and rear travel over the first generation model. Combined with a slacker 65-degree head tube angle, the Hightower still sits squarely in the Goldilocks zone, but with a touch more “Oh sh*t get me out of here” capability when the porridge gets too hot! Balancing stiffness and weight savings in all the right places is a hallmark of all Santa Cruz carbon frames and the Hightower flies the flag yet higher. The advanced composite chassis tracks well across all trail surfaces, holds a line, and is reactive to rider directions while isolating pedal-influenced inputs. The Hightower also has a bonus disc to heighten the experience—the flip chip. In the High setting, the BB height is a little higher for those tricky tech trails and/or when Plus sized tires are required. In the Low position the shock rate is more progressive, to provide additional bottom-out resistance. Whatever mood you’re in, the tone of the Hightower can be adapted to meet your individual taste. And speaking of taste, there’s a room for a water bottle inside the main frame and a threaded BB for convenience. There’s refined cable routing for better shifting performance, simpler installation, and no cable rub. On top of that, there’s a tailgate shuttle guard, downtube protector, shock fender, and noise-canceling chainstay protector keeping things quiet" SPECS: MSRP: $5749USD 14.86kg / 32.75lbs Carbon C FOX 36 Float Performance, 150mm, 29" RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ SRAM GX Eagle, 12spd SRAM GX Eagle, 12spd SRAM GX Eagle 148 DUB, 30t SRAM XG1275 Eagle, 12spd, 10-50t SRAM GX Eagle, 12spd SRAM DUB 68/73mm SRAM Code R Avid Centerline 180mm Cane Creek 40 IS Integrated Burgtec Alloy Burgtec Enduro MK3 Santa Cruz Palmdale Grips DT Swiss 370, 15x110, 32h DT Swiss 370, 12x148, XD, 32h RaceFace AR Offset 30 29" Sapim Race Maxxis Minion DHR II 29"x2.4", 3C, MaxxGRIP, EXO, TR Maxxis Minion DHR 29"x2.4", 3C, EXO, TR Stan's Sealant RockShox Reverb Stealth WTB Silverado Pro
