Anyone have info on new 2021’s? Went to LBS to buy a XL Hightower and they are sold out until late July early August. Are the changing anything besides colors? I’m really hoping price doesn’t change as I’m looking at the base model.

The Hightower is less than a year old and it's been well-received. Major changes are highly unlikely. Small changes to the spec are possible and maybe small changes to price points.

Thanks for the info. I’m curious to see color options.

I went to my lbs and they said that they would have 2021 model year by mid July. I’m looking at the new tallboy which my friend at the lbs said the new colors are like a ivory and white and a black and white. It kinda annoyed me cause I was hopping for something a little brighter.

Do you know if they're sticking with the fox dps for 2021 tb?

I’m not sure. If I had to guess I think that they would.

Those color options are kinda lame but you never know until you see it in person. Could you find out what colors they plan on doing for Hightower and megatower?

That’s a good point, my guy at the lbs just said the tallboy colors. I’m looking at the tallboy 4 and an upcoming yeti sb115. I heard from another source that one of the Hightower colors is red but I’m not sure on that.

I just pre ordered 2021 Hightower in XXL. Unfortunately my LBS only told me the 2 colorways were battleship grey or a burnt orange color without telling me the accent colors... Frown

So I bite the bullet and got the burnt orange without knowing the second color. He mentioned the greys normally come with a black or dark accent so I wanted to get the brighter one!

Did they say anything about the build kits or any other info about the bike? Any estimate on when it would ship to you?

Not much, other than shipping mid to late July

battleship gray and burnt orange are exactly the colours of 2018, so I get a pretty good idea on how it's going to look

What about the kits? are they going to have mechanical dropper post on the R kit? Fox fork?

That is not burnt orange. LOL but yes, a burnt orange was offered in 18 on the TB.
