Whether that includes the rarefied air of the alpine or just local trailheads, built and burly trails, or sublime natural singletrack, the Hightower is an all-terrain thriller.

SPECS
FEATURES:
- VPP suspension utilizes a one-piece swingarm that eliminates the need for pivots on the stays, creating a stout, bulletproof rear end for accurate tracking and superior performance.
- The highly sculpted and optimized Lower Link houses a geometry adjusting Flip Chip and beefy Pivot Axles to virtually eliminate lateral flex.
- Proportional geometry so every rider, no matter their size gets the best riding bike. The geo makes it confident across all terrain, without losing the light, fast, agile feel of a trail bike.
