Santa Cruz Hightower 3 C GX AXS T-Type RSV Bike
The Greatest Hits of Engineering
All-mountain bikes are great at many things. Whether you’re into climbing steep hills, shredding the singletrack, cruising the fire roads, or letting off the brakes and descending as fast as possible, you’ll love riding an all-mountain bike. The Santa Cruz Hightower 3 C GX AXS T-Type RSV Bike is big on wheels, medium on travel, and short on fuss. The Carbon C Frame uses 150mm of travel on the front and 145mm of travel on the rear. The frame features internal cable tunnels, integrated frame protection, a Sag Window, a Glovebox for additional storage, legendary VPP suspension, a geometry flip chip, and tire clearance for up to 29×2.5″ tires.
The GX AXS T-Type RSV version of the Santa Cruz Hightower 3 comes with a SRAM GX AXS Eagle T-Type 12-speed wireless electronic drivetrain. This includes a cassette that has a hill-crushing 10-52T gear range that makes climbing and pedaling through demanding terrain much easier. SRAM Code Bronze Stealth hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power so you can descend with confidence. Reserve 30IHD 29″ Carbon Rims are paired with Maxxis Minion tires that can be set up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the OneUp V2 Dropper Post, you’ll be able to quickly lift and lower your saddle with the press of a lever.
