Expirience with the Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS COIL / Carbon C

Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS COIL / Carbon C Review The Megatower GX AXS COIL is the enduro race weapon in the line up of Santa Cruz. The lush 170 mm suspension travel on the fork swallow even rough rocks in the trail course. The combination of a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Santa Cruz, even if you ride fast. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the Santa Cruz Fully. On climbs, the Megatower GX AXS COIL lets you sweat. Other bikes 7999 Euro climb better. With a total weight of 16,3 kg, the Enduro von Santa Cruz is one of the heavier Enduro that you get for under under 8000 Euro. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
