Santa Cruz Hightower!

Santa Cruz Hightower!

Today Santa Cruz Bicycles releases the Hightower, a bike which can accomodate both 29" and 27.5+" wheels without altering the geometry. A high/low setting on the frame's rear suspension linkage allows for 29" wheels and a 140mm fork, or 27.5+ wheels and a 150mm fork, both maintaining a 67° head angle. The long, low stance of this bike should lean it toward big, burly, all day adventures. Depending on terrain, and riding preferences, this rowdy machine could take on the highly elusive, (and hyperbolic) tag of "quiver killer." And while it is not the case, I like to think this new ride is named after the late, great Bubba Smith's character "Moses Hightower" from the Police Academy films.
