Santa Cruz Megatower C S-Kit

• Available in: Carbon C and CC
• Wheel Size: 29
• Front Travel: 170mm
• Rear Travel: 165mm

Place everything you need for a ride beneath the reassuringly high-quality latch and panel in the downtube, including your driving gloves. The Glovebox also comes with a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, two refined pouches for keeping your essentials close to hand.

CC frames use the very best materials and production processes available. Our C Carbon frames have the same features but the trade off for a little less $ is a little more weight. Both versions are made in our own factory, are just as strong and stiff as one another, and have a lifetime warranty.

The steep seat angle puts the rider in the right place for scaling the steepest pitches to get to the wildest descents. It's gets progressively steeper on the biggest sizes so everyone is sat in the right spot.

A relatively low leverage ratio offers a more damped, controlled feel across longer travel ranges and easier setup.

The option to run large body shocks (like a coil), a lower-link flip chip and still able to fit a water bottle inside the front triangle.

165mm travel as standard but if you choose to swap to a longer stroke (65mm) rear shock you can bump it up to 170mm.

The details are completed by a neat mud flap to protect the rear shock plus tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm, and rubberized DT protectors to shrug off strikes.

The Megatower's chainstay length is matched to the frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry.

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

The Megatower is available in sizes small - extra extra large (S-XXL).
