    Summary

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

    Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS RSV COIL / Carbon C Review The Megatower GX AXS RSV 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. With a 63,5 degree head tube angle and a reach that tends to be long you can certainly speak of a modern geometry. If you are already a little older, your back will love the comfortabel seating position of the Megatower GX AXS RSV COIL. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. With 16,3 kg, the Enduro von Santa Cruz tends to be one of the heavier bikes on the market. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Santa Cruz engineers. For 9199 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. Santa Cruz gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
