    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz Megatower X01

    Santa Cruz Megatower X01 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. The combination of a 63,8 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Santa Cruz Fully, even if you ride fast. The relatively high front allows you to sit upright in the saddle. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. Santa Cruz gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
