Hi Looking into either a new Stumpjumper Comp Carbon or a Second hand Santa Cruz Hightower C (2017) I have heard great things about both bike, the pricing is fairly similar and the components seem to be the same. So the question I am asking myself is why would I buy the older 2nd hand SC when I can get a brand new Stumpy? Any help would be great. The Santa Cruz is the basic Carbon model.
Santa Cruz launched the Hightower in early 2016 as a replacement for the Tallboy LT. With 135mm of rear suspension and the ability to run either 27.5+ or 29" wheels, the Hightower is set to take the trails by storm. Click here to view the article
In the market for a good all round trail bike. My 2 top choices are the santa cruz hightower and the new stumpjumper comp alloy. the stumpjumper is around $3k while the hightower is $1k more. Anyone have any suggestions on which one they prefer?
