Santa Cruz Hightower 3 tries to kill me in Oakridge

[@didzy9349]

great vid - does the HT3 seem quiet? no rattles or cable rattle etc? the new MT2 alot of people complaining of noise/rattles, im gonna get a HT3 but cant stand a rattly bike so hoping this isnt

[@DenizMerdano]

If you are sensitive to noises i suggest you try one out on the trails before you pull the trigger. I think it's a very quiet bike of not the most quiet one in my stable.

[@didzy9349]

@@DenizMerdano fair point about the test ride - but im hearing good things about the quietness of it, and they sound very quiet in all the videos ive seen - good that yours is as quiet as youve got in the stable too thanks for the reply , great video

[@alankc6831]

Tks for the lovely video, so how do you like the Hightower? Am torn between this and the pivot switchblade 😮

[@DenizMerdano]

Awesome bike that can be setup like a lightweight trail scalpel or a heavy hitting enduro rig! I love the switchblade too so it would come down to fit for me. they have different pedaling geometries. i suggest you sit on both and decide which one is more comfy to pedal around all day! on the descends, they will be very very similar

Trails look amazing! Footage is crystal clear and stable. Good job. Picking mine up on Tuesday. GX AXS Reserve Matte Emerald. Hope it lives up to the hype?! 10 years since I rode Mountain Bikes. Tired of being a roadie, need a change. 😁

Dude, amazing video! Thanks for posting this. What trails did you ride in this video? I’m asking for a friend 😂

[@DenizMerdano]

Thanks dude, it's all on the map stuff. Eula Ridge, Lawler, Alpine, Dead mtn. Definitely worth getting Trans Cascadia Expeditions shuttle bump up...

[@flyinchop]

Right on! Thanks for the info!
