2024 Santa Cruz Hightower Review. 29er trail bike with 150mm travel and a 160mm fork (up from 145mm / 150mm) revised vpp suspension moves more in favour of bump performance than pedalling. The latest hightower features a completely redesigned frame, updated suspension kinematics, and modernized geometry.

Modern geometry numbers hint at this bike’s capabilities but really don’t let on to its true downhill prowess. • improved geometry is subtle but effective.
