What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“The Hightower Frame C blends plush 150 mm VPP™ travel, tailored trail geometry with flip-chip tuning, and built-in Glovebox storage—all wrapped in lightweight and durable Carbon C construction.”We specify the Santa Cruz Hightower Frame C when we want a modern do‑it‑all trail platform that stays smooth, precise, and efficient—whether we’re climbing chattery alpine ridges or blasting full‑tilt descents. Its Carbon C chassis pairs 150 mm of VPP™ rear travel with room for a 160 mm fork, sculpted geometry in each size for agile control, and a two‑position flip‑chip to dial stack, geometry, and bottom‑out resistance. The downtube hides a Glovebox door with included tube purse and tool wallet so your ride essentials stay secure and out of the way. It’s finished with clean internal routing, generous tire clearance, Glovebox storage, and SRAM UDH compatibility—all in a rugged but lightweight package.
