Hightower D Mountain Bike - 2022

Why We Like The Hightower D Mountain Bike
Equipped with more suspension travel than the Tallboy, but not quite as hefty as the Megatower, the Hightower hits that mid-travel sweet spot for all-mountain riding. We've loved this bike ever since we threw a leg over the first-generation Hightower in 2016, and the current version is better than ever thanks to the refined lower-link VPP suspension and updated geometry. The Hightower's 145mm of rear travel is paired with a 150mm front fork, meaning we can take on everything from big-mileage XC rides to black-diamond runs at the bike park. The whole package rolls on speedy 29-inch wheels, helping us hold our momentum as we charge through trail obstacles.
*Due to unprecedented demand in the global supply chain and the bike industry over the last 18 months, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be minor. If you have any questions, reach out to a Gearhead by chatting online or calling 1-888-276-7130.
