Santa Cruz has just revealed the fourth incarnation of its Hightower. Dubbed by the brand as "probably the most versatile bike in our line-up", the latest version gets more travel, a slacker front end, a steeper seat tube, and redesigned VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) suspension. The six-model range starts at $4,999 / £4,899 / €5,499 for the R model, topping out at $10,999 / £9,999 / €11,499 for the XX AXS RSV.
"Built for trails of every kind", the Hightower 4 gets beefed-up hit absorption capabilities with a 10mm increase in fork travel, which takes it to 160mm, while the rear gets a 5mm boost to 150mm.
