Santa Cruz Megatower 2 C R-Kit Matte Nickel

A downhill bike that expands your horizons

Serious fun. The Megatower, with its large wheels and stable carbon frame, offers the confident high-speed performance of a downhill bike. The relatively steep seat angle and size-dependent geometry confirm its suitability for touring and its good reputation as a balanced-aggressive weapon for Enduro races, demanding tours, and bike park fun.

Fully packed

Pack everything you need under the solid flap in your downtube. Including your fine gloves. The bike comes standard with a "Tool Wallet" and "Tube Purse", two high-quality bags that securely and practically store your belongings.

C and CC full carbon frame

Our CC carbon frames use the best materials and latest manufacturing processes. They have the same stiffness and stability as our C frames, yet are lighter. We use CC frames in our top models. Both versions are manufactured in our own factory and come with our well-known lifetime warranty.

Steeper seat angle

The steep seat angle keeps the rider centrally positioned on the steep climbs leading to even steeper descents. The seat angle becomes steeper with increasing frame size, ensuring balance in every size.

165mm VPP travel

The low gear ratio of the Megatower provides a confident feel and full control throughout the entire travel range, and also simplifies setup.

Compatible with steel spring and water bottle

The frame allows for the installation of large (steel spring) shocks and a bottle holder within the frame.

More travel

165mm of travel is ideal for us on the Megatower and is therefore standard. However, if you install a shock with a bit more stroke (65mm instead of 62.5mm), the travel increases to 170mm.

It’s all in the details

Small but important details on the frame include the clever mudguard over the shock, the tidy cable routing in the frame, and the rubberised downtube protection.

The geometry fits

The chainstay lengths of the Megatower grow with the frame size. This way, every rider gets the same balanced geometry.

Every size counts

From size S to size XXL, everyone will find the right Megatower.

Lifetime warranty and support

It’s frustrating to miss a tour because the bike is defective. That’s why we strive to build the best and most stable bikes. And if there is a problem, we support you with our Rider Support so you can get back on the trails quickly.
