Big on wheels, short on fuss, this is the pinnacle of go-anywhere-anytime bikes. A balance of travel, wheel size and attitude makes this a true MTB for modern mountain biking. 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.

FEATURES:

• Internal cable routing (drivetrain) on C Carbon frames. Only dropper and rear brake on CC Carbon frames.
• Millimeters matter: The lower VPPTM link is forward and low to optimize anti-squat. Resulting is a plush, open ride feel.
• Chainstays are longer. But is also matched to frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry
• Glovebox - Place your ride essentials securely beneath a new high-quality latch and panel in the Bronson’s downtube
