The Santa Cruz Hightower Carbon CC XO1 Eagle Complete Mountain Bike is designed for the aggressive trail rider seeking one bike that'll shred pretty much any stretch of singletrack that lies before you, regardless if you're pedaling deep into the Colorado Rockies or ripping through the thick forests of Northern Vermont's famed Kingdom Trails.

Best of all, this carbon layup doesn't sacrifice one bit of strength or stiffness, so you'll remain impressed with its precise handling and serious level of abuse this Carbon CC frame can withstand. The Hightower's adjustable flip-chip is definitely one of its best features, seeing you can swap out the provided 29-inch wheels for the voluminous traction and bump-smoothing support of 27. 5+ wheels rolling on tires up to a massive 3. 0 inches wide. That being said, Santa Cruz no longer offers a 27. 5+ build from the factory, so you'll have to either buy a 150-millimeter fork or swap out the air spring in the provided 140-millimeter FOX 36 Float Performan...
