Ride character of the Santa Cruz Hightower 29 2020
In size L, the Santa Cruz Hightower 29 2020 pairs balanced 433 mm chainstays that keep it lively without feeling nervous; a slack 65.5° head angle that stays composed when it gets steep and fast; a moderate 473 mm reach.
Those numbers describe how it steers and sits. How the suspension actually feels, small-bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support and bottom-out ramp, comes down to its leverage and anti-squat curves: see our MTB suspension kinematics guide, and put its geometry head-to-head with any other bike in the geometry comparison tool.
