Product Info
The Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower CC XX1 Reserve Complete Mountain Bike laughs in your general direction. It's completely unfazed by aggressive trails, nasty comments, or claims it's just too much bike. Megatowers are confident in their abilities, and ready to stretch yours. This model is the mega-est of all the Megatowers, too, with Reserve wheels, SRAM XX1 AXS, and the best Fox suspension on the planet. All that unpleasant stuff? This bike knowingly pats them on the head and disappears down the trail. See you later!
Product Details
Key Features
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest grade CC-level carbon frame is every bit as stiff and strong as their C-level frame, but weighs about 280 grams less, due to the use of lighter, stronger, and more expensive carbon fiber. Santa Cruz is also able to truly integrate the shock mounts, pivot mounts, dropouts and disc brake tabs into the structure, using all uni-directional carbon plies. The shock mount isn't merely riveted or bonded on after curing, but is an integrated part of the fiber lay-up. This makes Santa Cruz's carbon frames incredibly strong and able to absorb impact better than any other frame they've tested.
Travel – 160mm Front / 160mm Rear
Wheel Size – 29"
Lower-Link Mounted 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. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
Dropout Flip Chip – Allows 10mm chainstay length adjustment.
Integrated Flip Chip for High/Low Geometry Setting
Molded Rubber Swingarm & Downtube Protection
Internal Brake & Dropper Cable Routing

Used For
Enduro If you’re looking for maximum performance while flying down heavier trails, an enduro bike is for you. These bikes combine ample suspension travel (typically 150mm+) with descent-focused frame geometry and components that allow for reasonably efficient pedaling. -
Suspension:

Frame Material
Carbon Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option. - Water Bottle Mounts: 1

Crankset
SRAM XX1 Eagle AXS DUB, 30t True competitors are always looking for a performance advantage — a relentless pursuit of equipment that is lighter, stiffer, stronger and more durable. To create the best drivetrain possible, we re-examined and re-engineered our crankset design. SRAM's all-new XX1 Eagle CARBON TUNED crankset is our lightest, stiffest and strongest to date. DUB technology enhances this by simplifying the relationship of the spindle to the bottom bracket, and redefining the measure of durability. DUB-powered cranksets deliver simplicity, compatibility and durability.
FEATURES- DUB technology delivers the lightest, stiffest and strongest crankset available.
- SRAM CARBON TUNED crank technology provides extreme stiffness and light weight.
- The X-SYNC 2 chainring provides significantly quieter performance, with better mud clearing and extraordinary durability.
- New colorway is matched to work with XX1 Eagle AXS enabled componentry.

Chain
SRAM XX1 Eagle, 12-Speed It might look normal from the outside, but the engineering inside this incredible chain design that makes possible a gear range previously found only in 2-chainring drivetrains. And it's also the biggest contributor to the Eagle drivetrain's ultra-smooth, precise, durable and quiet performance. The Eagle chain's links have a smooth radius, with no sharp edges or chamfers, which yield a significant reduction in noise, friction and wear on chainrings and cassette cogs. This design also allows for a flatter plate, which means more consistent chain riveting and greater overall strength.
FEATURES- Groundbreaking chain design and technology.
- The Eagle chain has been completely re-engineered, and is produced with new manufacturing technology.
- Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FlowLink technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity.
- The Eagle chain is the quietest, strongest and most wear-resistant chain in the world.
- Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.
