2025 Hightower GX AXS
AN ALL-TERRAIN THRILLER
For trail rides that could mean local laps or alpine loops you need a bike with balanced travel and geometry that can handle a wide range of trail conditions. If you’re not looking for extremes, just something extremely good, the Hightower is your elevator.
A TRUE MTB FOR MODERN MOUNTAIN BIKING
The Hightower has the brawn to back up the brains. 150mm-travel VPP™ provides a plush, open feel with a lot of traction. This suspension travel sweetspot provides a broad riding envelope, meaning you’ll be pushing yourself and not the bike.
