Description

🚀 All-Terrain Attacker. All-Day Capable.

The Hightower 90 Kit brings a premium build to Santa Cruz’s most versatile platform. With big 29" wheels, progressive 150mm rear travel, and a FOX 36 up front, this is the carbon trail bike you grab when everything is on the menu—technical climbs, rowdy descents, all-day missions, or lunch-lap shreds.

A full SRAM Eagle T-Type drivetrain and OneUp cockpit bring cutting-edge performance to the table, while Reserve alloy wheels and Maxxis tires keep you rolling fast and planted in any conditions.
