Mike Levy
The ingredients seem run-of-the-mill, but the outcome is anything but.
- Not the absolute best at anything... but it is good at lots of things.
- We had issues with the derailleur, brake levers
- It's your money, but the price seems... pricey
Mike Kazimer
The Hightower 3 gains in-frame storage and a little port to help make shock setup easier.
Peter Walker
Santa Cruz present the 2023 Hightower trail bike. We tested the GX AXS RSV model featuring their C-grade carbon and providing 145 mm travel.
- Storage compartment in the downtube with matching bags
- Intuitive, playful handling
- too small brake rotors
- Prone-to-failure tires
Danny Milner
The original Santa Cruz Hightower converted a lot of riders to 29ers, does the new version have the same significance?
- Everything you could want from a trail bike
- Missing an upper chain guide
