Expirience with the Santa Cruz MEGATOWER S / C / 29

Ludwig Döhl 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. With a flat 64,7 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz Enduro. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. The shifting componentes are an important part of the complete bike. And exactly here Santa Cruz scores highly with high-quality components at a price of 5999 Euro . With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
