Santa Cruz Megatower Review

In this review, I look at my experience of owning a Megatower and try to answer the question of whether it would be the right used bike for you.

Nice review mate. It's always difficult to be "honest" about a bike you own personally... But this is a very well rounded review.
Nice job!

Bought a megatower for this season, always love seeing videos like this confirming exactly what I wanted!

Awesome review dude🤘🏼

I've been riding a 2018 Hightower LT (with a Fox 38 and NOBL carbon wheels) and it's a great middle of the road bike, can do a little bit of everything, but it's not a super great climber and it's not super stable on the downhill chunky stuff. I bought an Ibis Ripley a few months ago which does great with the climbs and general trail riding, and then I just bought a used 2019 Megatower which came with the Santa Cruz reserve wheels and a Fox 38, and after a few rides, it's more of a do-it-all bike than my Hightower is but it's definitely better on the downhill sections. Much more stable and composed, and that lower VPP link setup is much improved over the V1 Hightower. Absolute beast of a bike, and it even climbs great, too!

Great review as always mate, honest as well 👍🏼 I always thought about an non assisted bike but for now at least happy with my current one 😊

Great review, I hired one about a year ago whilst in Glentress in Scotland and was very impressed with the package and much better to climb than my Whyte G170

Thanks for sharing!! the video has answered a lot of questions that I've had about a used SC megatower. Finally I'll choose a new canyon spectral 29 because a trial bike is better option for me.

Ah sh*t!! My secondhand SC MegaTower is in the post and arriving tomorrow 😬

Nice review, excellent advice on what to look for when buying a used SC Mega!
I love my Mega! It is my one bike. As of now I don't plan on getting rid of mine. It is an amazing all around bike!!!

Great review. Would nowadays go still with an airshock or with coil on the Megatower? Thx.

[bltbiking]

Excellent information. Thank you for sharing!

Got myself a Norco Sight 29er which is quite similar to the Mega. Might be on the bigger side for the Zurich Highlands, but very happy so far! Have big plans for next summer 😎

Ive just stumbled on this vid as i look for a reason to sell my mega and buy a hightower .. Truth be told my mega as ridden the Alps Scotland and the Lakes . Some of the UK highest peaks legal and none legal and has never left me feeling bored .. It climbs well but the Hightower climbs better .. but its not all about the ups is it .. Looks like im not selling now either :)

I replaced my dropper with a fox transfer. That reverb was junk.
