Learn More About the 2025 Santa Cruz Hightower 4 C S
The 2025 Santa Cruz Hightower 4 C S is that all-around trail bike you reach for when the terrain throws everything at you. Whether climbing tricky switchbacks, flowing along smooth singletrack, or charging steep, technical descents, this bike stays composed and ready. Its geometry balances climbing efficiency with descending confidence, so you feel steady whether you’re powering uphill or ripping down.
Suspension
The suspension setup is thoughtful and tuned. Out back, the FOX Float X Performance rear shock (230x57.5mm) takes in bumps smoothly, soaking up impacts without sapping your pedaling energy. Up front, the FOX 36 Float Performance fork offers 160mm of travel paired with a Grip damper that you can dial to suit the terrain. The suspension is rugged and responsive, exactly what you want on demanding trails.
Drivetrain
Shifting gears feels precise and effortless thanks to a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain. The wide-ranging 10-50T cassette means you can hammer climbs or open up on fast flats without missing a beat. The matching shifter and chain keep gear changes crisp, whether you’re spinning easy or pushing hard.
Power Transfer
Power transfer gets no shortcuts with a SRAM GX Eagle crankset sporting a 32T chainring, backed by a durable SRAM DUB threaded bottom bracket. Both are built to deliver smooth, efficient pedaling even when the trail heats up.
Tires and Wheels
Tire choice is spot on for mixed terrain: Maxxis Minion DHF (29x2.5) up front and DHR II (29x2.4) out back. They grip loose dirt, rocks, and wet surfaces confidently. Rolling on a solid wheelset featuring reliable DT Swiss 370 hubs and your pick of Reserve 30|TR AL or Raceface AR30 rims, the Hightower holds true in rough conditions.
Brakes
When it’s time to slow down, SRAM DB8 Stealth four-piston brakes offer confident stopping power and modulation. You can tame steep descents and technical sections without worry.
Handlebar and Stem
Handling feels precise thanks to a OneUp Aluminum handlebar with a comfortable 35mm rise and wide 800mm span. Pair that with either OneUp or Burgtec Enduro stems, both 42mm long, for snappy but stable steering.
Comfort
Comfort matches performance. The SDG Bel-Air V3 saddle offers support for long days, paired with a OneUp Dropper Post for quick saddle height adjustments on the fly. This lets you attack climbs and descents with the ideal body position.
Build Quality
Santa Cruz’s build quality shines through, from the frame to every component, ensuring durability that lasts through years of trail abuse.
If you need a bike ready for any trail challenge and one that combines smooth suspension, reliable shifting, and solid stopping power, the Hightower 4 C S fits the bill. It's a capable partner for those who push limits or seek versatility in their rides.
