Big wheels, no excuses - at Santa Cruz, the Hightower is the pinnacle of versatility. The central improvement of the Hightower is the 5th generation of the VPP rear triangle. A revised architecture of the rear triangle enables a lower position of the lower link and the shock. This lowers the anti-squat value and improves the rear triangle performance. The influence of the chain on the suspension is minimized, which significantly increases traction and riding feel.
