The Santa Cruz Hightower R PLUS 27.5 Carbon Mountain Bike has the versatility to deal with whatever appears on the horizon. Running on 27.5" standard wheels, the Hightower seamlessly adapts to the trails and style you ride, no matter where you are in the world.Boasting 27.5+ wheels that take this bike to a whole different level, the rider is enabled to rise above the fray, rail the soft spots, and carry momentum where standard tires bog down. No matter what size you run, geometry remains optimized thanks to a "High/Low" setting on the upper link that flips to adjust bottom bracket height*. Hightower's 67® head angle, longer reach and trim chain stays combine to create an altogether different class of dreadnought in any configuration. Meanwhile, 150mm of seat dropper, a water bottle mount, and internal routing reflect an armada of killer details.
