Market: With the new Hightower LT, the Californian bike builders Santa Cruz have created a thoroughbred enduro race bike with no frills. Equipped with the VPP system and 150 mm spring travel, racers – not only in the EWS – should be guaranteed extra grip and traction.
The new Santa Cruz Hightower LT is designed for extremely demanding enduro races that place special demands on the material and the rider. The engineers did not use any gimmicks when developing the bike: The Hightower LT comes without geometry adjustment, does not offer the option of Plus tires and only rolls on 29″ tires. The Santa Cruz Hightower LT is available in two color options and five trim levels. As usual with the American cult forge, there is both a C and CC carbon version. At CC level, the Santa Cruz Reserve 30 carbon wheels are available as an option. According to the manufacturer, this should be the most durable and stable impeller on the market. Santa Cruz offers a lifetime warranty on the frame, bearings and Reserve 30 wheels.
