    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz MEGATOWER R / C / 29

    Santa Cruz MEGATOWER R / C / 29 Review When things get down to business in the EWS, guys like Craig Evans or Lago Garay usually rely on the MEGATOWER R. Lots of suspension travel and large 29er wheels are proven at high speeds in rough terrain. The combination of a 64,7 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the MEGATOWER R, even if you ride fast. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Enduro of Santa Cruz, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. In the price range of under 6000 Euro, there are bikes that climb better than the Santa Cruz Enduro. Santa Cruz gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
