{"product_id":"2027-santa-cruz-hightower-c-deore","title":"2027 Santa Cruz Hightower C Deore","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2027 Santa Cruz Hightower C Deore is built for riders who want one mountain bike that can handle a huge range of terrain without feeling overcomplicated. With 150mm of VPP rear travel, a 160mm RockShox Lyrik Base fork, and fast-rolling 29-inch wheels, the Hightower sits in the sweet spot between everyday trail bike efficiency and the confidence of a longer-travel machine. It is comfortable covering big miles, but it has the suspension and geometry to stay composed when the trail gets steep, rough, or fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Cruz builds the Hightower Deore around its Carbon C frame, giving the bike a strong, responsive chassis with the refined ride feel that has made the Hightower a favorite all-around platform. The VPP suspension system is designed to provide useful pedaling support while remaining active over roots, rocks, braking bumps, and repeated impacts. A geometry flip chip lets riders fine-tune the bike's handling, while the integrated Glovebox adds convenient in-frame storage for trail essentials. The frame also uses a threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, and generous tire clearance to keep long-term ownership straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuspension is handled by a RockShox Lyrik Base fork with 160mm of travel and a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock. This combination gives the Hightower the travel needed for technical descents while preserving a balanced feel on climbs and rolling singletrack. The 29-inch wheel platform adds stability and rollover speed, helping the bike carry momentum through rough sections without making it feel like a dedicated downhill machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drivetrain uses Shimano's 12-speed Deore components, including the Deore M7200 rear derailleur, M6200 shifter, M6200 10-51t cassette, and M6200 crankset with a 32-tooth chainring. The wide gear range gives riders an appropriately low climbing gear for sustained grades while retaining enough top-end range for faster trail sections. SRAM DB8 brakes and 200mm Centerline rotors front and rear provide dependable four-piston stopping power for controlling speed on demanding terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Cruz pairs the build with Reserve 30|TR aluminum rims and Shimano hubs, creating a durable wheelset suited to aggressive trail riding. A Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.5 front tire uses a MaxxGrip compound for confident front-end traction, while the Minion DHR II 29x2.4 rear balances braking grip, cornering support, and rolling performance. Reserve Fillmore valves are included for a clean tubeless-ready setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cockpit and contact points are selected for practical trail performance. A Burgtec aluminum handlebar and 42mm stem provide direct steering control, Santa Cruz House Grips keep the interface simple, and an SDG Bel-Air V3 saddle sits on an SDG Tellis dropper post with size-specific travel. Handlebar dimensions, crank length, and dropper travel also vary by frame size so the complete bike better fits riders across the S through XXL range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor riders who value proven mechanical shifting, capable suspension, big tires, and a carbon chassis without unnecessary complexity, the 2027 Hightower C Deore delivers a compelling package. It is a bike made for the days when the route might include a long climb, technical natural trail, high-speed flow, and a rough descent before the ride is over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Santa Cruz","offers":[{"title":"Gloss Brick Red \/ S","offer_id":49674958766308,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gloss Brick Red \/ M","offer_id":49674958799076,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gloss Brick Red \/ L","offer_id":49674958831844,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gloss Brick Red \/ XL","offer_id":49674958864612,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gloss Brick Red \/ XXL","offer_id":49674958897380,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Matte Black \/ S","offer_id":49674958930148,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ M","offer_id":49674958962916,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ L","offer_id":49674958995684,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ XL","offer_id":49674959028452,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ XXL","offer_id":49674959061220,"sku":null,"price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5456\/7396\/files\/2027-santa-cruz-hightower-c-deore-gloss-brick-red-feature.jpg?v=1787086308","url":"https:\/\/www.airparkbikeco.com\/es\/products\/2027-santa-cruz-hightower-c-deore","provider":"Airpark Bike Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
