With 135mm of Santa Cruz' proven VPP suspension design and a slacked-out 67-degree head angle, the 2017 Santa Cruz Hightower C S+ shifts the wagon-wheel paradigm toward aggressive trail bike standards. In the case of the S+ version, this means plus-size 27.5 x 2.8 tires for extra float and traction on sketchy terrain. Short chainstays and a spacious cockpit ramp-up the fun when railing technical descents and put you in a powerful position for blazing uphill battles.
