    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS

    Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS Review The new Megatower comes in the typical Santa Cruz design with a low-lying VPP rear end. What is new, however, is the integrated storage compartment for the spare tube under the bottle holder. With a 63,8 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. On long tours, the comfortable seating position ensures a relaxed back. Santa Cruz gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
