Description

Santa Cruz entered the world of 29” wheel enduro mountain bikes with the original Megatower in 2019, a bike that immediately set a new standard in bikes chasing speed over challenging terrains. We now see the launch of the updated Megatower V2, further refined, tweaked and adjusted to push ever faster. A Megatower brings descending performance as close as is possible to the DH race rig, the V10, and retains the ability to pedal back up. Quite simply - up, down, repeat.

165mm rear travel utilises the famed Santa Cruz VPP (virtual pivot point) suspension linkage for consistent, supportive ride feel. A lower overall leverage ratio (thanks to a longer 62.5 stroke shock) provides more damping support for aggressive riding and a smooth progression curve with improved resistance to bottoming-out. Further adjustment is possible via the flip-chip system that enables you to switch between Hi and Lo settings to drop the BB a little lower and slacken the headtube angle for those days when things are extra steep and speedy. Geometry is balanced across the size range via matched chain-stay lengths, ensuring all riders are getting the same Megatower experience.

The C spec carbon frames are identical to the pricier CC spec though use an alternative carbon lay-up process. This means for a little extra weight the cost can come down. The C spec frame is still covered by the industry best Santa Cruz warranty and lifetime linkage bearing replacement program.

As a bike that represents the pinnacle of what is capable of engineering in the world of mountain biking, anyone who is looking for a hyper-fast, terrain crushing race rig need look no further than a Santa Cruz Megatower.

    Just perfect

    Great communication regarding bikes, parts.

    I already bought a new bike from Biketart once and everything was as it should be. This was the reason to revisit the Biketart store when choosing a new bike.

    The bike is always almost ready to ride.

    Always professional and helpful staff, ready to help with anything.

    I give it 10/10.

    Next time I choose a new bike, I will be happy to contact Biketart again.

    Thank you for the great service

    Absolutely brilliant service, fast good communication and it’s the first bike I’ve purchased online that’s not had something wrong with it.
