New Bike Days are best! The Stumpjupmer needed a new playmate. Welcome the 2020 Santa Cruz Hightower Aluminum R. After a long wait because of the Corona, it finally arrived. My first few rides and some thoughts. Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate every view!

Bro i started on a Wal-Mart bike and bought my first hardtail two years later but bought my first real bike this February. I picked up a 2019 Stump Jumper FSR Comp Carbon. I freaking love that bike. It gave me so much more confidence and has pushed my skill so much farther than I ever thought.

Yes, Stumpjumpers are great bikes congrats! Never had a single issue with it and that's why I'm keeping it around. That 2019 bike you got there is pretty sweet! Still trying to get used to the hightower but Ill get there!

Congrats on the new Hightower! I test rode one recently and they are nice. My last NBD was back in 1995 in college. LOL. I ultimately went with a Ibis Ripmo AF, but would have been very happy with the model that you picked up. The Ripmo AF and the Hightower were dead tied in my book. That's the spec I was looking at, but couldn't find anywhere in the aluminum frame. Enjoy it man! Looks like you have some fun places to ride too.

I started on a Walmart Mongoose almost 20 years ago. I moved to where I live now in 2006 and wanted to buy a bike but never did until June of last year. I bought a 2 year old Scott Spark and then traded it in back in April for my blue 2020 High Tower. I love my High Tower! It's like riding in a luxury car. It climbs great, handles the chunk great, flow trails are awesome, jumps are sweet, and she is sexy. Good choice bud.

@@RAYGUNstudios I also test rode the Bronson (medium frame) and the Tallboy (large frame) if I didn't buy the High Tower I would have bought the Tallboy. It's a very nice bike as well, not a cushy as the Hightower or Bronson but it pedaled really well. Thanks for sharing the video and for your time. Ride safe.

Weeks of waiting is nothing :/ I ordered a Hightower C S build, and the wait time was 4.5 months. I'm 1.5 months in, and "only" have 3 months to go... but luckily I already have a good bike. Every video about the Hightower that I watch just makes me want it more, but idk if that's a good or bad thing

Great video! Waiting on my 2021 Hightower AR to arrive mid-late August. This is my first full suspension MTB so I'm really looking forward to it. Now that you've had the bike for a couple of months, do you still love it? Have you made any upgrades? Would love to get your feedback. Thanks!
