DESCRIPTION
The Hightower 4 is the latest iteration of Santa Cruz's most versatile trail bike, designed to tackle a wide range of terrain. Now boasting 160mm of travel up front and 150mm in the rear, the Hightower now offers a bit more insurance when things get rowdy. The Hightower's VPP suspension has been reconfigured with a focus on reducing anti-squat, which provides a more active feel and increased traction on technical climbs while also offering more better square-edge bump absorption.
- Coil Compatible
- Glovebox in-frame storage
- Fully tubed internal routing

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.
We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
