The Santa Cruz Hightower 4 CC XX AXS Reserve is built to dominate on varied terrain, blending the top-tier Carbon CC frame with powerful, precision-engineered components. Weighing in at 31.7 lbs (14.38 kg), it strikes an ideal balance between lightweight agility and robust durability. With 150mm of rear travel supported by Santa Cruz’s acclaimed VPP suspension system, this bike ensures a smooth ride with impressive control, whether you're tackling technical climbs or descending at speed. Up front, a FOX 36 Float Factory fork with 160mm travel and a FOX Float X Factory rear shock add to the bike’s smooth handling and shock absorption, enabling it to handle everything from rugged descents to fast-paced trail sections.

The Hightower 4 is fitted with SRAM’s XX Eagle Transmission AXS T-Type 12-speed drivetrain, complemented by the AXS Pod Controller Rocker Paddle for seamless electronic shifting. Paired with a 10-52t cassette, the wide gear range is perfect for taking on steep inclines and fast sections. With SRAM HS2 180mm rotors and the powerful SRAM Maven Ultimate Stealth brakes, braking performance is both reliable and responsive, delivering consistent control on even the most challenging trails. The bike’s wheels are equipped with Reserve 30|HD Carbon rims and Industry Nine 1/1 hubs, built for strength and stability, with Maxxis Minion DHF and DHR II tires to provide superior traction and stability on loose, rough terrain.

In terms of rider-centric features, the Hightower 4 includes the OneUp Dropper Post, customized by frame size, and integrated Reserve Fillmore Valves for ease of use. The bike’s adjustable flip chip allows for a customizable geometry—high for maneuvering technical trails and low for added stability at high speeds. Santa Cruz’s innovative Glovebox storage solution keeps essentials secure and accessible, adding convenience to performance. This well-rounded design, from the sturdy Chris King DropSet 3 headset to the sleek WTB Silverado saddle, makes the Hightower 4 CC XX AXS Reserve an elite option for riders ready to conquer trails with confidence and precision.
