Riassunto

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

dic 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.

Comparativa Santa Cruz Hightower vs. Megatower

set 2019 · di Marco Toniolo

Nel 2019 Santa Cruz ha presentato sia la nuova Megatower che la nuova Hightower. Due bici da 29 pollici che a prima vista possono sembrare identiche, anche perché i millimetri di escursione che le differenziano sono proprio pochi: 10mm all’anteriore, 20 al posteriore. Spinti dalla curiosità e dalle vostre richieste ce le siamo fatte mandare per lavorare sulla comparativa che trovate in questo articolo. Visto che il marchio californiano offre anche due diversi tipi di telai in carbonio, abbiamo preso la palla al balzo per tentare di capirne le differenze: CC, il più pregiato, per la Hightower, C, quello più

First Ride: Santa Cruz Hightower

lug 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.
