Learn More About the 2025 Santa Cruz Hightower 4 CC Frame
The 2025 Santa Cruz Hightower CC Frame is the pinnacle of all-mountain engineering, designed to conquer diverse terrains with unmatched performance and precision. Built with a commitment to lightweight durability, innovative suspension, and compatibility with high-performance components, this frame sets a new standard for trail dominance.
Superior Suspension Performance
At the heart of the Hightower CC Frame is the FOX Float X Factory rear shock (230x57.5). Renowned for its plush responsiveness and seamless control, this shock ensures that every bump, drop, and rock garden is handled with ease. Paired with Santa Cruz’s VPP suspension system, it provides a balanced and efficient ride, delivering exceptional pedaling efficiency on climbs and buttery-smooth descents.
Lightweight Carbon Precision
Weighing in at an impressive 6.84 lbs, the Hightower CC Frame is crafted from Santa Cruz’s premium-grade carbon fiber. This construction offers a perfect blend of lightweight agility and trail-tested toughness, ensuring the frame can handle aggressive riding without compromising speed or maneuverability.
Trail-Optimized Geometry
With a 44mm fork offset, the Hightower CC Frame is designed for precise steering and stable handling. This geometry strikes an ideal balance between downhill confidence and uphill capability, making it a versatile choice for riders tackling everything from tight switchbacks to high-speed descents.
Dependable Bottom Bracket Design
The inclusion of a 73mm threaded bottom bracket ensures long-term reliability and easy maintenance. Threaded bottom brackets are favored for their resistance to creaking and straightforward installation, making them a practical choice for riders who value hassle-free performance.
Integrated Headset for Seamless Compatibility
The frame features an integrated headset (IS41/52), offering a clean, low-profile design that simplifies assembly and enhances compatibility with a wide range of forks. This setup ensures a sleek appearance while reducing weight and improving durability.
