We're throwing the fun between our legs weekend after weekend and looking forward to loading the Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon C R Mountain Bike up in the back of our pickups. The Hightower is built for high levels of fun and with 150mm of forgiving rear travel it's bound to get us out of a few hairy situations.

Paired with those wheels are the 4-piston SRAM G2 brakes these brakes have double the pistons for double the power over normal brakes.

The Hightower has us getting our rigs high into the mountains with tons of confidence on the way down. We can't wait for the weekend and loading it into the pickup with our buddies before a session down the mountain. We've riding happier tan ever with an economical but durable dri...
