Hightower 3 S Review From Pisgah National Forest.

This is a quick review, after spending 70 miles, and 7,000 feet of climbing over 3 days aboard Santa Cruz's latest Hightower. Nicely decked out S model.
Santa Cruz's VPP is amazing, I've been riding VPP from SC for close to 10 years.
I review what I liked, how it performed and what could be improved.
Basically-
Head angle and seat tube angle were awesome for 2 mile downhill chunder and 1,000 ft seated climbs.
Sram shifting, GX-awesome.
Suspension-Fox Performance, and Rockshox Superdeluxe plus ticked all the marks at recommended setup, no further tuning needed.
Dropper, Oneup-could use improvement.
Headset (Cane Creek 40) and bottom Bracket SRAM Dub-dead silent.
Frame-awesome, love the stash box, and the window by the shock.
Pivots/linkage-Can't beat the zerk grease fittings and lifetime bearing warranty.
Stem/bar Burgtec-nice and cool.
Grips and saddle nice and comfy.
