Big on wheels, short on fuss, this is the pinnacle of go-anywhere-anytime bikes. Plenty of travel, 29-inch wheels, and a do-it-all attitude makes Hightower a go-to choice for modern mountain biking. Whether that includes the rarefied air of the alpine or local trailheads, built and burly trails or sublime natural singletrack, the Hightower is an all-terrain thriller.
