A MOUNTAIN BIKE IN ITS PUREST FORM
Big wheels, no excuses - this is the pinnacle of versatility. A balanced ratio of suspension travel, wheel size and handling makes it a true MTB for modern mountain biking. Whether in the thin air of the Alps or on your home trail, whether on built flow trails, challenging descents or on natural mountain trails - the Hightower is our all-mountain all-star.
The strengths of the HIGHTOWER
- Improved traction
- Remains active when pedalling in rough, technical terrain
- Better & smoother response, especially at the beginning of the travel
- Predictable, consistent, progressive rear suspension support
FAHRWERK
The look of the Hightower has changed radically. But it wasn't about satisfying a designer's ego or standing out, it was just about moving the position of the lower link and shock down and forward to lower the anti-squat for a radically better ride feel.
WHAT IS ANTI-SQUAT?
Anti-Squat hardens the suspension when pedalling. At the same time, it causes the chain to pull backwards every time the suspension compresses. Too little anti-squat and the suspension rocks when pedalling. Too much anti-squat and the suspension is less able to absorb bumps under load. We have worked hard to improve the anti-squat effect on our bikes and reduced the value for it. The result is more traction and more riding fun.
MILLIMETER WORK
Moving one of the VPP™ pivot points by a few millimetres results in significant changes in ride quality. The lower VPP™ link is now positioned lower and further forward to optimise anti-squat. The result is a smooth, free-feeling ride with plenty of traction.
MORE TRAVEL THAN EVER
150mm of rear travel, optimised by the fourth generation of VPP™, and a 160mm fork give the Hightower the character it needs to respond to the latest developments in kinematics. Thanks to the wide range of use, you can push yourself long before the bike reaches its limits.
STRAPAZABLE HARDWARE
The rocker arms and axles ensure optimum function for many years to come. The entire construction is robust, reliable and easy to maintain. In addition, the first owner benefits from free replacement bearings for life.
BUILT FOR MANY BIKE LIVES
We only use the highest quality sealed Enduro MAX bearings and very high quality screws and small parts. The bearings are maintenance-friendly and easy to check. For all first-time owners, we offer free rear bearings for life.
GLOVEBOX
Pack what you need under the solid flap in your down tube. The bike comes with a "Tool Wallet" and "Tube Purse" as standard. So you have everything quickly to hand.
This bike arrives (almost) fully assembled. All you have to do is straighten the handlebars and attach the pedals.
