2017 XL Santa Cruz Hightower CC

Thank you for viewing my ad. I am selling my XL Hightower CC purchased late last year. It has been well taken care of and will not disappoint you if you decide to make the purchase. As you are likely aware, the Hightower is an extremely versatile and capable trail bike. It is an efficient climber, but is also very poised on the descents. I borrowed one last year for a 50 mile charity ride and I was so impressed that I bought a complete custom build a few months later. It was a great bike to have on that long ride because I could keep up with the XC guys on the climbs, but also have fun on all of the downhill sections. With the Fox X2 the handling is much more robust, especially through the rough stuff. It is also handles really well when it comes to jumping, cornering, and manuals. Being very tall at 6'4", this bike also offers the kind of fit I was looking for. Finally, it just looks awesome when it's all built up thanks to Santa Cruz's fit and finish. I am selling it now, however, to get something with more travel as my normal riding habits are a bit more on the extreme end of what I would want to engage with a 135mm trail bike. With that, I would say the ideal buyer is a rider between 6'1" and 6'5" looking for a bike suited to trail riding (healthy amounts of climbing to go with the descending).

Will ship to anywhere in the continental US at buyer's expense.
