Expirience with the Santa Cruz MEGATOWER XT / Air / 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. No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Santa Cruz MEGATOWER XT, the 64,7 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz MEGATOWER XT. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Santa Cruz sets the bar high!
