Peak to valley and back again.
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.
TRAITS OF THIS HIGHTOWER
- Lots of traction
- Remains active while pedaling up and across rough, technical terrain
- More sensitivity. Plush off the top, with fluttery small bump performance
- Leverage rate provides predictable, consistent, progressive support
