Frame and Suspension
The Hightower uses a Carbon C frame paired with a FOX Float X Performance rear shock and a FOX 36 Float Performance fork with 160mm travel. This setup gives you a supportive, controlled feel on descents while staying efficient enough for long days in the saddle.
Drivetrain and Brakes
SRAM GX Eagle handles shifting with a 12 speed, 10-50t cassette for a wide gear range on climbs and flats. SRAM Code R brakes with 200mm HS2 rotors give you strong, reliable stopping power when the trail gets steep.
Wheels and Tyres
Reserve 30 TR AL or Raceface AR30 wheels are paired with Maxxis Minion tyres front and rear. A Minion DHF up front and a DHR II out back give you confident grip in a wide range of conditions.
Finishing Kit
A Burgtec alloy bar, OneUp or Burgtec stem and Santa Cruz house grips make up the cockpit. An SDG Bel-Air V3 saddle and OneUp dropper post complete the build.
