2023 Santa Cruz Megatower V2 | Long-Term Review

We built up a Santa Cruz Megatower for a long-term review to see if it really stands up to its reputation as a hard charging enduro bike with exceptional climbing capabilities. To put it to the test, we put it through high-elevation training rides, enduro race days, and bike park laps. Follow along to see the final verdict!

Gearheads Kendall and Chris talk through the nitty-gritty details regarding tech specs and build options. Of course, they discuss the bike’s riding characteristics at length as well. What do you think about the V2 Sant Cruz Megatower? Let us know in the comments!
