Tried to replace worn out Horizon flats and unfortunately even 5-year old Horizons with bent and missing pins are much grippier. Those lack at last 1mm in pin height. On most trails they are ok though, just require a little more attention on very rough sections. Would be great if those had slightly larger distance from the crank.

Anodizing can be corroded after a few years of sweat.

The Select dampers on the front and rear are terrible. Unable to tune the compression speed, the bike height stays very low on the descents. This throws you over the bar all the time. Adding air pressure and tokens only gives you harsher ride. The only way to fix this problem is by exchanging the damper to Charger2.1. High and low compressions setup to the right speed, the bike is very nimble and plush. And also the Sram Guide RE brakes are not the best brakes. Fingers and arm muscles suffer after every ride. Upgrading to Shimano XT brakes or better will help.

Cascade link went over center over compressed rear shock jamb rear tire against seatpost I went over the bars took 3 mechanics to pull it out sent link and Hightower carbon frame to cascade for evaluation and they could not find anything wrong except minor bearing wear and they sent all it back said tuff luck pal we can’t find any fault with our product. Lesson learned Factory engineers design frames best not to try to make a frame travel further than it was designed for! Now I’m stuck with a damaged $4k carbon frame front triangle. I changed Hightower back to Santa Cruz standard link to be safe. I have videos without shock on that I sent to cascade that they could see how link allows over traveling and head of rear shock mount bolt to gouge into frame and jamb tight hmu if you want the video
