WHAT’S NEW?

 

The Hightower trail bike was always a distillation of the best of the genre. But now it has a little more brawn and attitude to take on even higher, badder mountains.


MORE ATTITUDE

 

-  Slacker 64-degree HTA

(64.8 HT 3)
-  Improved suspension


MORE TRAVEL
- Grows to 150/160mm travel


EVEN BETTER VPPTM

- Re-configured layout for improved pivot placement/suspension Lower anti-squat equals a smoother and more efficient ride

Anti Squat

 

Anti-squat refers to how much your pedaling inputs stiffen the suspension. Too little and you have a bike that bobs under power. Too much and the bike will be harsh and not as able to absorb bumps while under power

We’ve worked hard to improve (reduce) anti-squat on our bikes.

Traits of Hightower:

●  Reduced pedal kickback on square-edge hits.
●  Remains active while pedaling up and across

rough, technical terrain.
