The pedigree is well-known: the Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower 3 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike has legions of fans. And with good reason. This latest Hightower builds on all the years of research Santa Cruz has put in making versatile, fast, and fun bikes. This Hightower is all those and then some, with an excellent parts build on the proven VPP™ suspension platform. That means efficient pedaling, responsive handling, and high-speed comfort: this Hightower really is the XC racer’s DH bike, able to do it all, and do it very well. This build features SRAM’s bonkers new GX AXS Transmission drivetrain, an amazingly durable bit of tech.

Key Features

Carbon C Frame– A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 – 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you’re riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.

Travel– 150mm Front / 145mm Rear

Wheel Size– 29″

Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension– VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.

The Glovebox™– Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!

Proportional Chainstay Lengths– With rear ends that match the size range, this bike’s geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.

Internal Brake & Dropper Cable Routing

Biking Type: Mountain MountainMountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Used For: Trail, Enduro TrailTrail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike. EnduroIf you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling.

Suspension: Full Suspension Full SuspensionEngineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

Frame Material: Carbon CarbonCarbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.
