DetailsSanta Cruz Bicycles Megatower C R Complete Mountain Bike
The carbon fiber answer to the dreams of hardcore riders' wishlists, the Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower C R 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. This R-level SRAM NX build is the easiest way to get rolling on one of the most anticipated bikes we've seen in quite some time.
Product Details
Frame/Shock:
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.
RockShox Super Deluxe Select Rear Shock: The look and feel that you expect from the Super Deluxe family of shocks in a straightforward package. Now featuring Maxima Plush fluid, it's the perfect place to start honing in those riding skills.
Shock Adjustments: Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes / Rebound Adjust / Air Spring Pressure
Lower Link Flip Chip for Geo Adjustment (+/- 3.5mm BB Height): Preserves BB height for "over-forkers" and allows even the most sensitive riders the ability to fine-tune their ride.
Dropout Flip Chip: Allows 10mm chainstay length adjustment.
Bolt-On Shuttle Guard/Downtube Protector + Shock Fender: To ward off wayward rocks and the sandpaper effect of tailgate transport. The integrated fender works to keep crud out of the suspension.
Internal Carbon Tubes: Ensure precise and hassle-free routing of derailleur and seat post cables.
Bottle Cage Mount: Within the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.

Drive Train:

Brakes:
SRAM Guide RE Brakeset: Originally designed for heavy and fast E-MTBs, SRAM's Guide RE brakes combine proven Guide R lever assembly with a powerful 4-piston caliper derived from the gravity-focused Code brakes. Guide RE provides real, usable on-trail control—optimal power and modulation mean speed can be controlled in all terrain and in all situations, both uphill and downhill.
Avid CenterLine Rotors: The new CenterLine Rotor was designed to keep the center of friction consistent throughout rotation thereby minimizing vibration offering consistent performance and a quiet ride.
Wheelset:
WTB ST i29 TCS 2.0 Rims Laced to SRAM MTH Hubs: At 29mm internal width, these aluminum rims pair perfectly with modern trail tires, giving great grip and feel. The hubs are solid performers too, adding up to a capable and durable package designed for the long haul.
Maxxis Minion DHF Front Tire: The Minion DHF was designed for the often loose and muddy conditions of aggressive all-mountain terrain. The DHF incorporates ramped knobs for low rolling resistance and channel-cut knobs to increase gripping edges, giving straight-line control and precise cornering.
Maxxis Minion DHR II Rear Tire: With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control. Pair it with a Minion DHF up front for the ultimate aggressive trail riding tire combo!
Additional Features:
Race Face Aeffect Dropper Post: A rock solid option for riders wanting to enter the dropper market. A sealed damping system wrapped in 7075 aluminium makes for a lightweight dropper that can take the hits, complete with internal cable routing compatible with modern frame design.
