The Hightower trail bike was always a distillation of the best of the genre. But now it has a little more brawn and attitude to take on even higher, badder mountains.

Bumping up slightly from its fence-straddling positioning, the High-tower now sits in the meat of the market: the 150/160mm do-every-thing bike. A true quiver of one, it is equally at home on lunch laps, road trips, or the occasional enduro race.

FEATURES:

• Eagle 70 Mechanical Transmission: The first of its kind with a full mount interface—no derailleur hanger, no compromises. Shift anywhere, under full power. Easy install, no adjustment screws. Rebuildable, reliable, affordable.
• 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
