Santa Cruz Megatower 2 C 90 - 2026
EXTREME CONDITIONS REQUIRE AN EXTREME RESPONSE
Designed for maximum speed and a margin for error when taking blind risks or tackling repeated laps, the Megatower maintains impressive pedaling ability, solidifying its reputation as the perfect choice for big gravity rides, park laps, and enduro racing.
GET UP TO GET DOWN
With a fast-rolling pair of 29-inch wheels and 170mm of VPP™ suspension paired with a 170mm-travel fork, the Megatower is perfect for riders looking to elevate their game. Capable on gnarly downhill terrain, the Mega also boasts a pedalable pedigree to get you back to the top.
BLIND CONFIDENCE FOR BLIND RACING
VPP™ suspension strikes the ideal balance between pedaling efficiency and bump-chomping prowess. The Megatower excels at absorbing the biggest hits, allowing riders to charge harder and with greater confidence on the toughest terrain. Plus, its efficiency ensures that reaching the highest, best trails is never a chore.
Seriously. The Megatower’s big wheels, long-travel and tough carbon fiber chassis delivers the high-speed security traits of a race bike. Yet the relatively steep seat angle and size-specific geo maintain the Mega’s mega pedaling ability, elevating its reputation as the perfect choice for big gravity rides, park laps and enduro racing.
