Whether we are in for a full day of long climbs and technical descents, or just tearing up our local trails in the foothills, the Santa Cruz Megatower is our go-to choice when we need a brawler of a bike that can still pedal. With 165mm of VPP suspension, the Megatower is at home bombing down the steepest of descents and is still composed enough to climb back up and do it all over again. Size-specific chainstays ensure a balanced and stable platform for all frame sizes, and a new steeper seat tube angle, averaging 77. 5 degrees, puts us in the perfect position to climb efficiently. The Megatower has a slack 63. 8-degree head tube angle that gives us tons of confidence when bombing downhill and keeps our front wheel out ahead of us to help keep us from feeling like we are going to go over the bars. A Glovebox frame storage allows us to keep all our ride essentials in the downtube of the frame and integrated downtube and chainstay protectors keep our frame protected from rocks and chain slap. Additionally, a Shuttle guard on the top of the downtube allows us to shuttle to the trailhead without worrying about scratching our frame, and the integrated rear shock fender keeps mud and dirt away from our shock for a cleaner suspension. The GX Eagle Transmission AXS build of the Santa Cruz Megatower features quality components and an electronic drivetrain at a more budget-friendly price point then other top-level builds. The Carbon C frame is built to the same standards as Santa Cruz's premium Carbon CC frame but is slightly heavier to give us a reliable, stiff, lightweight frame. SRAM's GX Eagle Transmission AXS electronic shifting provides the latest technology in the market today. It gives us flawless electronic shifting, a durable design, and the same huge gear range. RaceFace ARC Offset 30 aluminum rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs take this build sky high and give us a race-worthy wheelset that is durable, lightweight, and stiff. Another stand-out component is the RockShox...
