Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower C Eagle 90 Mountain Bike Matte Black, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve been riding the Hightower C 29 90 and it nails that middle ground between trail and enduro. The FOX Float X shock makes it super planted on descents but doesn’t feel sluggish when I’m grinding up techy climbs. The new SRAM T-Type drivetrain is rock solid, and the Glovebox is honestly one of the most underrated features out there.""We turn to the Hightower C 29 90 when we want just one bike to do it all. This latest generation builds on Santa Cruz’s legacy of versatile VPP™ trail bikes with a bump in travel and refined geometry that make it feel even more capable across aggressive singletrack, rocky descents, and high-mileage days. At the heart of this build is the FOX Float X Performance rear shock paired with a FOX 36 Float fork—offering 150mm and 160mm of suspension that balances plushness with mid-stroke support. The C carbon frame brings stiffness and trail feedback while integrating modern touches like a threaded bottom bracket, internal routing, and the downtube Glovebox for ride-day essentials. SRAM’s 90-series T-Type drivetrain ensures crisp, under-load shifting, and the Reserve 30|TR AL wheels roll fast and take a beating. Whether we’re riding flow trails or pushing into enduro terrain, the Hightower is the one we reach for. Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help."
