Santa Cruz Hightower 3 C 29 23 MD PUR GX AXS (2023) RSV

The 2023 Santa Cruz Hightower 3 C GX AXS Reserve is a unisex 29-inch trail mountain bike built for riders who want a versatile mid-travel trail bike with wireless shifting and carbon wheels. This medium Translucent Purple GX AXS Reserve build uses a SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain and Reserve carbon wheels, preserving the Hightower's broad trail range while adding crisp electronic shifting and a more responsive wheel package. The design keeps the focus on predictable handling and a clear purpose rather than chasing a single headline number, making it easier to choose the product for the terrain and skiing or riding style it was designed to cover.

The third-generation Hightower pairs Santa Cruz's Carbon C chassis and VPP suspension with balanced 29er geometry suited to technical climbs, rough descents, and long trail days. The resulting platform is intended to balance support where power is transferred with enough compliance and mobility to stay useful through long days and changing conditions. Fit, mounting, setup, and component compatibility should be confirmed for the individual user before heading out.
