SANTA CRUZ HIGHTOWER | Gear Review

[@amildupuisrossi2718]

I just bought this bike and rode it up in Carcross, Yukon for my first ride. I really like it. I went from a Norco Sight to this bike.

I have the 2022 model and what a bike! I’m 5’9/size L and love my Hightower💪

[@Wafe_NZ]

I have the V2 model same build and love it. I’m 6”3 and the XL fits like a glove and only upgrade was the dropper to bike yoke dropper. The code r brakes took a bit to get used too but still stoked with it even after 2years

[@cberg9480]

Agree. VPP is great. I had a Tallboy, but now rocking the Bronson! 🤘

love to hear!

Santa Cruz good build for the money now thats a laugh out loud moment for me.

I built a 2024 HT recently. INcredible bike. one thing to note. IF you add a water bottle the door will end up making rattling noise when the water bottle is full. There's an easy fix though. remove the plastic rim that the door latches too and add some mastic tape under it where it touches the frame. you'll never see it and the noise is gone. SC needs to re-engineer that component that the door latches to. Overall, the bike amazing. I can push it harder each ride and haven't yet found its limits.

I fully agree with the door trick, my shop at @coskishop has been doing this for a while.

hi! thanks for the review. Is the frame medium? I can see an "M" on the frame.

[@OutOfBoundsPodcast]

@@dbissiritsasgn yes it is, I typically ride a large however.

[@dbissiritsasgn]

@@OutOfBoundsPodcast thanks, I understand now what you said about "happy medium".

[@mitchdomaas304]

[@OutOfBoundsPodcast]

You should.

[@KapitolPhoto]

Does it come with air in the tires?

[@KapitolPhoto]

Also damnit I want to buy a new bike.

[@TruckeeNuts]

Actually, no. You’ve got to air them up yourself.

[@meliodashadeyoshi2115]

Doesn't look like you ridden it much due to the rear flat tire 😂 and whats up with the almost pointing to the ground

[@OutOfBoundsPodcast]

This one isn't mine, just a prop :)

@@OutOfBoundsPodcast lol I was going to say and it looks brand new!! I really want to see a video of someone hitting some nice trials!
