Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower Carbon CC 29 X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike 2017

Santa Cruz Bicycles' Hightower Carbon CC 29 X01 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike is something of a bellwether for the current direction of the off road flock. It features a host of tech that virtually every manufacturer is dabbling in but that few if any have managed to fit into a single model as well as SC.

The Hightower's two triangles are joined by the latest generation of VPP suspension. Santa Cruz refers to it in house as third generation VPP, but it's essentially the same VPP we know and love with the Nomad inspired updates mentioned above. A repositioned lower..
