SANTA CRUZ HIGHTOWER LT 29 – XX1 EAGLE RESERVE – CLAY – LARGE – DEMO 1

The Santa Cruz Hightower LT is a race-bred 29er built for speed, control, and big-mountain capability. Designed to tackle the most demanding EWS, Crankworx, and Andes Pacifico courses, the Hightower LT is an evolution of the original Hightower, now featuring 150mm of VPP rear suspension tuned for aggressive riding.

By working closely with some of the fastest and most stylish riders, Santa Cruz refined the suspension kinematics and shock linkage, improving the balance between stability, traction, and responsiveness. This version drops the 27.5+ compatibility in favour of dedicated 29″ wheels, with geometry adjustments that give it a slacker head angle, a longer reach, and an extended wheelbase for maximum confidence on rough terrain.

Whether you’re charging down enduro courses, tackling steep technical descents, or sending big features, the Hightower LT delivers the speed and precision needed to stay ahead of the pack.
