Résumé

The Santa Cruz Hightower is a versatile enduro bike praised for its efficient climbing, confident descending, and balanced handling. Its VPP suspension system is responsive, though some reviews note occasional hang-ups on climbs and a lack of sensitivity at the start of the stroke. The bike's ability to adapt to various riding styles and terrains makes it a standout, though some riders may find the seat angle less than ideal for steep climbs.

Pros
  • Efficient climber

  • Confident descender

  • Versatile for various riding styles

  • Responsive VPP suspension

  • Balanced handling

Cons
  • Occasional hang-ups on climbs

  • Lack of sensitivity at the start of the suspension stroke

  • Seat angle could be steeper for climbing

Review: Santa Cruz Hightower CC V2

déc. 2019 · Drew Rohde

With a bit more travel, a slighly more aggressive stance and suspension tune, the V2 Hightower has been redirected to be a slightly more downhill biased do-it-all bike. Read the review to see where it excels and what we liked about it most.

juil. 2019

Though its got the same attitude as the longer-travel Megatower, the entirely new Santa Cruz Hightower is entirely its own bike. But you might still have a hard time deciding which one suits you best.
