Balancing stiffness and weight savings in all the right places is a hallmark of all Santa Cruz carbon frames and the Hightower flies the flag yet higher. The advanced composite chassis tracks well across all trail surfaces, holds a line, and is reactive to rider directions while isolating pedal-influenced inputs.
The most visible upgrade is the completely new VPP® link arrangement. The lower link tucks neatly above the bottom bracket, fully-recessed and protected from impacts. Meanwhile the box-section upper link now mounts cleanly to the top tube and enhances lateral stiffness as a result. Shock rate’s been refined in the process too, delivering greater small bump sensitivity and a more progressive mid-stroke.
The famous Bel-Air saddle is a classic all-rounder with reinforced nose and sides. With CroMo steel rails. Designed with a Rear-Rise which helps rotate the pelvis forward and can provide extra support for one who likes to use the saddle’s optimal rideable area (ORA).
The Pivot LES balances stiffness, tuned compliance, and outstanding pedaling performance in a lightweight carbon hardtail. Fly to the front and rocket through corners with this responsive carbon frame that boasts a tapered head tube, 92mm-wide bottom bracket, and powerful Boost axle spacing.
