Santa Cruz Hightower 4 – The Definitive Trail Bike
Built for Every Adventure

Combining 150mm of VPP™ rear travel and a 160mm fork, the Hightower 4 offers the perfect blend of efficiency, comfort, and control. Whether you're climbing steep mountains or descending fast technical trails, this bike is built to perform.
