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 Megatower V2 has a handy glovebox fitted to the downtube with a surprising amount of storage space. Also included is a Santa Cruz branded tool wallet and tube purse.

The Megatower is manufactured in Santa Cruz C and CC grade carbon. The CC shaves a little weight and adds touch of extra stiffness to the already impressive C spec. As you would expect the Megatower 2023 is covered by Santa Cruz's fantastic lifetime warranty and lifetime pivot bearing replacement policy.

Available in a range of specifications, as well as the option, at certain spec levels, to choose between air or coil shock and even add an amazing set of Reserve carbon wheels. We can switch build kits between frame sizes so fi the Megatower you want isn't in stock give us a shout and we may be able to build it up for you!

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.

          The MegaTower is Megatron... :)

          Have to say this bike is a beast... absolutely love it. The team at Biketart have been brilliant from start to finish, the bike even arrived two days early. Although there was a problem with the dropper the guys quickly sorted this and sent me out a bleed kit to get me going again.

          The bike itself is so plush and yet soild, the suspension all round just soaks everything up and just wants to keep on going even through the tech trails.

          Would definitely recommend one of these to anyone and again to the team at Biketart, Cheers for everything :)

          What a bike! 🤩

          I’ve been lucky enough to have a lot of bikes over the years and my favourites have always been Santa Cruz, but this mega tower is by far the best I’ve owned to date. It’s the quietest and just seems to carry speed so much better than any other bike. It seals over roots and rocks with these. The suspension is just superb. I started achieving Strava personal trials I’ve ridden for years without even trying that hard! The confidence this bike gives me is amazing! 👌👌

          Great bike and even better service.

          Bike is incredible and I picked it up at a bargain price. Even better than that was the Bike Tart customer service. They were first class from the word go and I’ll definitely be a returning customer.

          Fantastic!

          This Megatower is probably the best bike I have ever owned. It seems to be amazing at everything, I finally understand now the "magic fairy dust" people say are sprinkled onto Santa Cruz bikes.

          It climbs far better than you'd expect from a big long travel enduro bike and actually feels more like a trail bike going up the steeps. Now this may leave you thinking it compromises on the descents, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's an absolute monster when you point it down hill and almost acts as a slightly shorter travel DH bike, but still manages to keep a nice poppy playful feel on the trails so you can still throw the bike around and have fun.

          Now yes this model does compromise slightly on the specs compared to other bikes that this competes with. But I have to be honest it is more than worth it to get the frame. And the only thing I've actually really found myself wanting to upgrade is the fork, and that can be solved with a damper cartridge upgrade which isn't actually all that costly.

          Overall if your looking for a long travel enduro bike that's still comfortable pedaling around on your local trails, you can't go wrong with the Santa Cruz Megatower
