Description

Built for the rugged, root-filled singletrack and rolling terrain of Northern Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest, the Santa Cruz Hightower GX AXS is the bike we grab when one ride needs to do it all. Whether you're linking together fast-flowing trails at Washburn, charging through technical sections at CAMBA, or putting in big-mile adventure rides on remote forest singletrack, the Hightower delivers the perfect balance of efficiency, capability, and confidence. Its 29-inch wheels carry speed effortlessly through rocks, roots, and loose corners, while Santa Cruz's proven VPP® suspension keeps the rear wheel glued to the trail without sacrificing climbing performance.

The wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS Transmission drivetrain provides precise shifting under load, making steep punchy climbs and fast trail transitions feel seamless. Combined with a stiff Carbon C frame, integrated Glovebox storage, and modern trail geometry, the Hightower is equally at home on all-day epics, local after-work rides, and aggressive trail sessions. It's the definition of a "one-bike quiver" for riders who want a bike that climbs efficiently, descends confidently, and never feels out of place.
