Santa Cruz Megatower C GX AXS-Kit
A downhill bike... Seriously. The Megatower’s big wheels, long travel, and tough carbon fiber chassis delivers the high-speed security traits of a downhill bike. Yet the relatively-steep seat tube angle and size-specific geo maintain the Mega’s mega pedaling ability.
The Megatower geometry and kinematics are meant for providing comfort at speed and a margin for error when taking blind risks. The ultimate privateer race bike. Backed with lifetime bearing replacement, it's durable pivots are completely serviceable with a multitool.
FEATURES:
- Seat tube angle gets progressively steeper as the sizes get larger so everyone sits in the right spot.
- Even with a lower-link flip chip and the option to run large-body shocks, like a coil, you’re still able to fit a water bottle inside the front triangle.
- 165mm of travel comes standard, but if you choose to run a shock with a longer, 65mm stroke, you can bump it up to 170mm.
- Lower Link Flip Chip & sealed bearing shock eyelet.
- Lower overall leverage (thanks to a longer 62.5 stroke shock) provides more damping support for aggressive riding. Straighter end-stroke improves bottom-out resistance. Lower leverage ratio for more damped, controlled feel. Straight leverage curve provides consistent progression and no surprises.
- Chainstay length is matched to the frame size. Every rider gets the same balanced geometry.
