Wheel Size 29" Carbon C Frame A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques. The Glovebox(TM) Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox(TM) has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous! Lower-Link Mounted VPP(R) Suspension VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality. Travel 150mm Front / 145mm Rear | Santa Cruz Bicycles Hightower 3 C S Complete Mountain Bike 2024 - Medium
