The Hightower C S is Santa Cruz's mid-travel 29er trail bike, built around a carbon C frame with 145mm of rear travel and a 150mm fork. The S build pairs SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed with hydraulic disc brakes and 2.5-inch tires on 29-inch wheels. It suits riders who want one bike for technical climbs and rowdy descents. Against alloy rivals it costs more for the same travel, but the carbon frame, VPP suspension and lifetime frame warranty are the draw.
