The 2023 Santa Cruz Hightower GX AXS is as balanced as it gets, and we’re not just talking about optimized geometry. The GX drivetrain is the most bang-for-your-buck of the SRAM Eagle line, and the electronic AXS shifting is as flawless as it is futuristic. The Carbon C frame is strong and stiff and features the new Glovebox for storing tools, rain shells, salty snacks, and more.
