Having recently built up the new Santa Cruz Megatower 2 (S/Carbon C kit) in the Matte Nickel colour, we bring you the bike build video of this piece of art.
Seriously. The Megatower’s big wheels, long travel, and carbon fiber chassis delivers the high-speed security traits of a downhill mountain bike, yet the relatively-steep seat tube angle and size-specific geo maintain the mega pedalling ability. This elevates the bike’s reputation as the perfect choice for big gravity rides and DH park laps.
The Megatower now also features the very welcomed Glovebox, that comes with a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse. You can now place everything you need for a ride in the downtube. Bonus!
Built by Mellow Velo Cycles.
