Big on wheels, short on fuss, this is the pinnacle of go-anywhere-anytime bikes. A balance of travel, wheel size and attitude makes this a true MTB for modern mountain biking. Whether that includes the rarefied air of the alpine or just local trailheads, built and burly trails or sublime natural singletrack, the Hightower is an all-terrain thriller.

Size Chart

Santa Cruz | Mountain

Size	Rider height (in)	Rider height (cm)
Small	5'1" - 5'5"	154cm - 165cm
Medium	5'5" - 5'9"	165cm - 175cm
Large	5'9" - 6'1"	175cm - 185cm
X-Large	6'1" - 6'4"	185cm - 193cm
XX-Large	6'4" - 6'7"	193cm - 200cm

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

AN ALL-TERRAIN THRILLER

For trail rides that could mean local laps or alpine loops you need a bike with balanced travel and geometry that can handle a wide range of trail conditions. If you’re not looking for extremes, just something extremely good, the Hightower is your elevator.

A TRUE MTB FOR MODERN MOUNTAIN BIKING

The Hightower has the brawn to back up the brains. 150mm-travel VPP™ provides a plush, open feel with a lot of traction. This suspension travel sweetspot provides a broad riding envelope, meaning you’ll be pushing yourself and not the bike.
