Santa Cruz Megatower CC Green XTR 2019 - Reserve Air/Coil

Takes whatever you throw at it and converts it into mega adrenaline fun.

The new 2019 Megatower is one hell of a fun-packed speed weapon. Strap big wheels and big suspension to one of the best bike suspension systems, and then add a dash of silly light and strong frame, and what do you get? Answer: A modern-day brawler, suited to diehard racers that aren’t content with simply riding their local trail, they want to smash it, with all the cheek to cheek grin factor they can get. The Magatower was developed from the popular Hightower, now featuring the lower link-driven VPP suspension as used on the Bronson and V10. The Megatower features a FOX 36 Float Factory 160 mm up front, while the option of a RockShox Super Deluxe Ultimate or RockShox Super Deluxe Coil Ultimate takes care of the rear. The VPP rear suspension design provides a smooth and progressive shock rate that has unmatched traction, ensuring tones of speed, air and bottom out resistance.

One of the biggest worries our customers have is having a bike that will cover all their riding terrain, be that local XC trails, Bike Parks and then the trip overseas to hit the big stuff. This Santa Cruz Megatower has all the tricks up its sleeve, a tidy concealed flip chip in the lower-link adjusts bottom bracket height and changes progressivity of the rear suspension, then a second in the rear dropouts, allows for a 10mm fore-aft adjustment in chainstay length to dial in the riders rearward weight distribution (either set for play or for stability). The flip chip mechanisms provide you with that extra fine tuneing without compromising reliability and durability.

The Megatower isn't designed for just the mega big are and descents. The Megatower has a sharp 76-degree seat tube angle and a 65-degree head tube angle, giving you plenty of room in the cockpit, while making climbing much easier, plus you can still carry around a full water bottle inside the frame (yep - even with a piggyback shock). The CC frame is well protected with a shock fender, shuttle guard, downtube protector and ribbed chainstay protector.
