The Hightower trail bike was always a distillation of the best of the genre. But now it has a little more brawn and attitude to take on even higher, badder mountains.
Bumping up slightly from its fence-straddling positioning, the High-tower now sits in the meat of the market: the 150/160mm do-every-thing bike. A true quiver of one, it is equally at home on lunch laps, road trips, or the occasional enduro race.
FEATURES:
- Internal cable routing (drivetrain) on C Carbon frames. Only dropper and rear brake on CC Carbon frames.
- Millimeters matter: The lower VPPTM link is forward and low to optimize anti-squat. Resulting is a plush, open ride feel.
- Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry
- Glovebox – Place your ride essentials securely beneath a new high-quality latch and panel in the Bronson’s downtube
