Highlights
- VPP® Suspension Design – The dual-link VPP suspension design provides the right amount of anti-squat to match speed-sensitive pedaling input, while also offering a consistent linear leverage curve for predictable support across the travel range.
- Carbon Mastery – The C Carbon frames use the same proprietary processes of the highest spec frames in order to retain the same legendary strength and stiffness the CC frames are known for, but there is a slight weight penalty. This was achieved by using a different grade of carbon material that results in a minimal weight gain.
- Flip Chip Adjustability – A flip chip at the lower link pivots allows riders to fine-tune their geometry and bottom bracket height to suit their terrain and preferences.
- Glovebox Storage – A clever frame-integrated storage solution with a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse keeps your essentials securely inside the downtube, right where you need them.
Description
Big on wheels, short on fuss, this is the pinnacle of go-anywhere-anytime bikes. A balance of travel, wheel size and attitude makes this a true MTB for modern mountain biking. Whether that includes the rarefied air of the alpine or just local trailheads, built and burly trails or sublime natural singletrack, the Hightower is an all-terrain thriller.
