Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesThe answer to the dreams of hardcore riders' wishlists, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower C S Complete Mountain Bike combines 29" wheels, all-world versatility, and long-travel suspension for the most capable bike you're likely to encounter this year. Its steep seat tube works with the proven VPP® design to make for a climber that stays planted on the tech-est of climbs, without siphoning off energy through pedal bob. It flies on singletrack and rolling sections, and really comes alive on descents--160mm travel plus a 65° head angle means it'll tear up the hairiest downhills. With a suspension flip chip and the ability to lengthen its wheelbase for high-speed stability, look for this MEGA to be Making Enduro Golds Again.
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
160mm VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines.

Maxxis Assegai Tires – The Maxxis Assegai tire is named after the iron-tipped spear used by the Zulu people of South Africa. Greg Minnaar, a native of South Africa, thought it was a fitting name for a tire ready to do battle on the mountain. The tall knobs punch through dust and loam to find traction, but also offer support and confidence on wet roots and rocks. While other tires excel only in certain conditions, the new Maxxis Assegai is built to go fast everywhere.

Additional bushing overlap also improves performance over time. This is the brand-new Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.
