Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Santa Cruz Hightower CC Frame 2017 Carbon/Mint

Season:2017

Brand:Santa Cruz

Code:SCS10549-SCRUZ17

The Santa Cruz Hightower CC Frame 2017 is the spiritual successor to the Tallboy LT, this long travel trail machine excels at all parts of the trail, taking versatility to new highs with a fantastic geometry that is open to both 29 and 27.5+ wheel sizes. Slacker, longer and lower are the glaring differences in the angles of the Santa Cruz Hightower when compared to the Tallboy, creating a seriously aggressive ride style that'll conquer trails without a seconds hesitation.

Allowing for both 29" and the chunkier, all new 27.5 plus wheel sizes is a big design feature, even more so when it doesn't negate the effectiveness of the mountain bikes geometry. With super short chainstays and Boost dropout spacings on both the front and rear means that clearance issues are completely voided. The High/Low setting on the upper link of VPP suspension system is the key to allowing for a switch in wheel sizes on the Santa Cruz Hightower CC, setting you up with the optimal bottom bracket position instantly (150mm fork is spec'd on the 27.5+ model, whilst the 29er gets 140mm of travel due to head angle optimisation).

Reworked VPP suspension provides 135mm of effortlessly smooth travel that accommodates your aggressive tendencies. Internal cable routing and water bottle mounts help round off a truly fantastic long travel 29er mountain bike, the Hightower CC deserves a look in from any mountain biker looking to take their performance and enjoyment out on the trails to the next level.

Santa Cruz Hightower CC 2017 Features

  • 27.5+ wheels allow for top level performance on looser terrain, carrying momentum through any corner.
  • 29" wheels provide fantastic straight line speed, rolling over big rocks and stumps with considerable ease.
  • Pair with 150mm fork to keep 67 degree head angle consistent for 27.5+ wheels.
  • Pair with 140mm fork to keep 67 degree head angle consistent for the 29er wheels.

Santa Cruz Hightower CC Frame

The CC-level carbon frame found on the 2017 Santa Cruz Hightower is every bit as stiff and strong as the C-level frame, but it is lighter (about 280grams lighter) and stronger thanks to the higher tech carbon fiber. This material allows for higher stress points to be built without additional reinforcement, allowing Santa Cruz to use less material overall, which is what shaves off more than half a pound from the frame.
