Product Info
It's right there in the name. The Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower 2 C R (RockShox ZEB R) Complete Mountain Bike doesn't even try and pretend: it's a runaway freight train of a bike, uninterested in anything but high speeds and challenging chunk. The latest Megatower sees an increase in travel and wheelbase, along with a slackened front end. It has become even smoother throughout all this travel, too, thanks to a redesigned shock tunnel that takes a longer-stroke shock. Combined with heavy-hitting components, these improvements make the new Megatower better in every way. This bike is true to the name. Mega!

Key Features
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.
Travel – 170mm Front / 165mm 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.
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
