The Hightower Deore is a 29-inch trail bike built to handle whatever a ride throws at it, from local trailheads to alpine descents. Its VPP suspension delivers 150mm of travel that stays plush and traction-focused rather than harsh, giving a wide riding envelope that doesn't demand a specific type of trail to feel right. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Shimano's Deore shifts as crisply on my local trail today as it did the first week I rode this bike, and every derailleur adjustment takes two minutes with a screwdriver. That's the kind of drivetrain I want on a bike I ride every week."Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead(R) Experts are always here to help.
