The quintessential mountain bike, the Hightower has been a staple of mountain biking in its broadest sense since its release in 2016. As happy to take on all day epic rides around the hills as it is to pedal up for laps of the Golfie, the Hightower with its 145mm of rear suspension and 150mm fork is the perfect companion for a wide range of riding. Supple enough to smooth out chunky terrain but still engaging to ride when the going is a bit smoother the Hightower can do it all, and put a huge grin on your face in the process.

Now in its third generation, the latest Hightower is the culmination of years of development to make this version the most versatile to date. Size specific frame stiffness and chainstay lengths mean that each size of Hightower gets the same consistent ride feel, and with sizes from Small to XX- Large there’s something for everyone. 

The Hightower is Santa Cruz’s most versatile bike, not fitting into any specific category, and it's easy to ride nature has made it a hit with riders in the Tweed Valley. If your riding can’t be easily defined by one style, the new Hightower could be the perfect bike for your genre busting riding.

An Enduro World Series venue and legendary in the UK mountain bike scene as one of the most prolific and exciting mountains to ride in the UK.  The Tweed Valley and the 100+ km of trails that stretch out from our front door have proven to become a meca for gravel, MTB and road cycling  and our staff are out, rain or shine experiencing it all. We're set up to provide you the best advice and select the products to stock that are the best value, best to ride, most eco friendly and will last you the longest out on the trail.

Our business began as Dirt School in 2006, a mountain bike coaching company set up to deliver the best learning and support a mountain biker could ever want. From World championship wins to the award winning BASE college course, we've experienced and forged it all. Our evolution led to the formation of Tweed Valley Guides and now Tweed Valley Bikes too, allowing us to help you buy the right equipment, and be able to ride with you on the best trails and help you learn how to get the most out of it. Our shop has genuinely grown from the trail.
