It is a radically robust, innovatively integrated, and fully independent, wireless shifting system. The Full-Mount hanger sits directly on the rear axle, creating a much stronger connection with the frame, while the particularly robust derailleur offers unprecedented durability. Smooth shifting is possible through the combination of X-SYNC technology and cassette mapping, even under full load. The new AXS Pods shifters are extremely ergonomic and highly customizable, making shifting easy and intuitive. It is simply the most advanced gear system and almost as robust as the mountains themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon CC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheel size: \u003c\/strong\u003e29 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTravel: \u003c\/strong\u003e150\/145mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShock: \u003c\/strong\u003eRockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate, 210x55\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFork: \u003c\/strong\u003eRockShox Lyrik Ultimate, 150mm \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDerailleur:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM X0 Eagle AXS T-Type, 12-speed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRight shifter: \u003c\/strong\u003eSRAM AXS Pod Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCassette:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM X0 Eagle T-Type, 10-52t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM X0 Eagle T-Type, Flattop, 12-speed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM DUB 73mm MTB Wide BB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadset bearings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cane Creek 40 IS Integrated Headset\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear tire:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxxis Minion DHR II 29\"x2.4\", 3C MaxxTerra, EXO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront tire: \u003c\/strong\u003eMaxxis Minion DHR II 29\"x2.4\", 3C MaxxGrip, EXO\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront hub: \u003c\/strong\u003eIndustry Nine 1\/1, 15x110, Torque Cap, 6-Bolt, 28h\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront rim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reserve 30\/HD 29\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear hub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Industry Nine 1\/1, 12x148, XD, 6-Bolt, 28h\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear rim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reserve 30\/HD 29\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront brake rotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM HS2 180mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRear Brake rotor: \u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM HS2 180mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes: \u003c\/strong\u003eSRAM Code Silver Stealth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrankset:\u003c\/strong\u003e SRAM X0 Eagle DUB T-Type Crankset, 32t\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandlebar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santa Cruz 35 Carbon Bar, 800mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStem: \u003c\/strong\u003eBurgtec Enduro MK3, 42mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaddle:\u003c\/strong\u003e WTB Silverado Medium, Ti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeatpost:\u003c\/strong\u003e OneUp V2 Dropper Post, 31.6 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrips: \u003c\/strong\u003eSanta Cruz Bicycles House Grips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharger: \u003c\/strong\u003eSRAM eTap Powerpack 1 Battery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D6fZrK5JjDY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Santa Cruz","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":50608486744328,"sku":"S04210004.2","price":9279.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":50608486777096,"sku":"S04210004.1","price":7434.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":50608486809864,"sku":"S04210004","price":9279.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":50608486875400,"sku":"S04210004.3","price":9279.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":50608486842632,"sku":"S04210004.4","price":9279.62,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/7085\/1592\/files\/SantaCruzHightower3CC29X0AXSOceanBlue_1800x1800_efffd49f-a987-41c6-83be-3c6f5ccce43e.jpg?v=1737017484","url":"https:\/\/www.bike-mailorder.com\/en-fi\/products\/santa-cruz-hightower-3-cc-x0-axs-gloss-ocean-blue","provider":"Bike-Mailorder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
