When trail days quickly turn into party laps we ride with confidence on the Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon CC X01 Eagle Mountain Bike all day long. The Hightower is equipped with robust components and a stable geometry to get us down the hill fast ride after ride. Whether we're hitting the bike park or all-day epics the 145mm of rearward travel gets us up and over big obstacles while soaking in rocky terrain found on the descents. 29in wheels roll over the harshest of terrain while VPP travel prioritizes predictable smooth riding and rear wheel ground contact.

The SRAM X01 Drivetrain offers 12 speeds of range on a single ring with the 50t propelling us up the steepest of grades and the 10t there for when the going gets fast. SRAM also takes care of braking duties with the 4-piston hydraulic brakes putting a stop to sketchy situations. RaceFace hoops are laced to quality Industry Nine hubs and provide a large 30mm internal width to support the aggressive downhill-ready Maxxis rubber.
