ALL-MOUNTAIN ALL-STAR

The Santa Cruz Hightower has always been characterized by its versatility. Technically, it combines the entire development expertise of our engineers. It has the right amount of travel, a strong character and the right components to ensure
high feelings on every trail.

VPP™ Suspension
The VPP™ system can be optimized for each bike to achieve the right balance between drivetrain efficiency and rear suspension performance. The Nomad is designed to confidently smooth out the hardest hits to glide through the roughest terrain with complete confidence. And since it still pedals very efficiently, the climb to the longest trails is not a chore, but a proven means to an end.

The short, stable rocker arms on the VPP™ system enable a very compact, robust and rigid frame design. For maximum ease of maintenance and durability, the rear bearings in the aluminum rockers are mounted on large axles. Grease nipples make maintenance easier.

The legendary Santa Cruz warranty
Santa Cruz bikes are built to be robust and durable. We trust their durability and back it up with our legendary support and warranty at the highest level.

Santa Cruz Hightower V4 Details

  • 150mm travel: A single-crown bike with the travel you need for the steepest and rockiest trails.
  • Glovebox: Pack everything you need under the solid flap in your down tube. The bike comes with a “Tool Wallet” and “Tube Purse” as standard. So you have everything quickly to hand.
  • Size-dependent geometry: The Nomad’s chainstay lengths increase with the frame size and the seat angle becomes steeper. This gives every rider – regardless of size – the same balanced geometry and perfect riding characteristics.
  • Flip the chip: In the low setting, the rear suspension becomes more progressive, especially at the end of the travel, which almost prevents bottom-outs. In the high setting, the bike is slightly higher in its travel and offers more support in the middle section.
  • Size-dependent frame stiffness: Larger riders cause higher loads. That’s why we adjust the stiffness for each frame size to ensure that every rider gets the same ride quality.
  • Small details with a big effectFine frame details are the small mudguard for the shock, the tidy and easy-care cable routing in the main frame and rear end, as well as rubberized frame protectors.

The right frame size

If you’re between two frame sizes, we recommend that you test both options. As a guide, you can compare the reach and stack values with your current bike or other well-known bikes that you feel comfortable on. If a test drive is not possible, you can also use the following tips as a guide:

  1. A larger frame gives you more stability and confidence. You also have more freedom of movement on the bike, with less influence on the balance. With a larger frame, you have a slightly longer wheelbase, which provides additional safety and stability. You therefore need to use your body more and have a slightly more active riding style to control the bike. Smaller bikes are more agile and react more quickly to the rider’s input.
  2. Even if you are the same height, everyone looks different. If you have a relatively short torso and long legs, we would recommend a smaller frame size. If you have a long torso and long arms, you should opt for a larger frame.
