The

Megatower

A downhill bike that goes everywhere

Why the Megatower?

Seriously. The Megatower’s big wheels, long travel, and tough carbon fibre chassis delivers the high-speed security of a downhill bike. Yet the relatively-steep seat tube angle and size-specific geo maintain the Mega’s mega pedalling ability—elevating its reputation as the perfect choice for big gravity rides and DH park laps.

Sam Reviews the Megatower

The Megatower 2 might look similar to the previous version, but Santa Cruz have made some big changes to an already amazing bike. Privateer race bike, bike park brawler and all-out shredder, we can't wait to put one through its paces!

Frame Sizing

The sizing chart is a great place to start when picking your next bike but everyone will fit a bike a bit differently. Your torso, arm, and leg lengths all play into what size of bike you may need. Plus, there's your own personal preference.

We always recommend swinging by the shop and taking the bike that you're looking for a spin to see how it feels. If you're unable to come by, looking at the geometry of your current bike and comparing it is a good place to start. If you have any further questions, our customer service team is there to help.
