I'm 5'7" and it's like someone dropped the Bronson from a magical place in the sky. Came from a Ripmo V2..... really similar to the High tower and although an amazing bike....being a shorter rider the mullet setup without a crazy long reach ticks all of the boxes in almost any scenario I'm finding.
I am very interested to see where the next generation Tallboy is going to sit, travel/geo wise. I'm planning on buying a new Hightower, but depending on how capable the next Tallboy is that could be the true all day trail bike.
Tallboy 5 actually got a little less capable (stiffer and faster though) than the TB4 was. With the Blur TR getting more capable and the Hightower 3 getting more responsive, the Tallboy is less necessary.
Better in just about every way; pedals better, handles better, freer suspension (less pedal kickback), frame storage. Only downside is that it’s a pinch more weight.
Hi Eduard! One of our Gearheads would be happy to look into this for you and make sure you’re taken care of. You can either give them a call at 1-888-276-7130, or chat in on our website.
Looks-to-be the very same rig that's in a dozen other videos. I wanna hear from owners. All youTube has is commercial reviews to sell products. Expensive products.
Your review format was refreshing. Casual conversation addressing all the questions surrounding the press release. It didn’t seem forced at all.
Thank you!
5’6” Hightower rider. Definitely interested in the Bronson.
Blur and Tallboy! I like to pedal
I have a 5010 and a Megatower. But this or a Bronson seems like a nice compromise.
Bronson still takes the cake for me. DH beast.

I have a Tallboy 3 (110mm) and will be picking up this new Hightower soon.
Right on! We have a few in stock
Just came back to say that the Glovebox isn’t exactly weather sealed. Some water does get in when washing.
V10 + Hightower is the ticket
Got a v10 and mega, going to sell the mega, dont know for tallboy or hightower 😅

The bikes may be awesome but the colors suck

BronsonMX and BronsonMX. I'm that 5'8" guy you were talking about.
Santa Cruz Two bike garage for me??? Hmmm Heckler and Tallboy
How does it ride compared to the V2?
If you’re planning to long travel the bike to 160mm, why not just gat a Bronson?
Hightower is a 29er, Bronson is a mullet.
Hightower and V10
How does the new Hightower compare to the V2 Hightower??

Tallboy and Nomad would be my choice
Tallboy Megatower would be my 2
Maybe I missed it?…..What spec or level is the bike you demo’d CR or CS or XO?
Hi Brian, the bike we tested was GX AXS Reserve in Large
@@competitivecyclist nice! Lucky
I felt Bronson got updated at a weird timing. It's not getting the glovebox and the new GX specs. Missing the sag window. It feels so last gen.
Sucks because the Bronson is the one I want lol 😂
Any thoughts on rider weight limit for this bike? 260 a concern?
You should be fine.
Especially if you are on one of the larger frames.
I’d be on a large, so that’s good. Always concerned what those shocks can support
I’m 290. No problems
@@prestond what shock are you using?
Chris, how tall are you? I’m 6’2” and questioning if the xl is too big

They run small; the large is tiny.
@@pgjudo yeah I tested out the large and i felt like my knees were going to hit the handlebars . I ended up getting an XL ibis ripmo
Hightower and V10 all day
5010 and Hightower
Hightower & Stigmata
Blur TR and Hightower but I'm an XCist
