From doing laps at one of the ski resorts in preparation for race day to just cruising the trails in the foothills with the buds, the Santa Cruz Megatower is one of our favorite rides to throw a leg over when we have a full day of climbing and descending.

SRAM’s NX Eagle drivetrain gives us a massive 11-50-tooth, 12-speed gear range to help us get up any technical climb and has a proven reputation. RaceFace AR Offset 30 aluminum rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs take the value of this build sky high and give us a race-worthy wheelset that is durable and quality-made wheelset. The RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ rear shock provides us with excellent small ...
