Megatower CC Mountain Bike Frame

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I built my Megatower with a 170mm fork and a coil shock, and it’s hands down the best descending bike I’ve ever owned. The frame is stiff in all the right places, and the geometry just works. Whether you're racing or smashing weekend shuttle laps, this frame is the gold standard."

With 165mm of rear travel, an ultra-tough Carbon CC chassis, and geometry built for enduro racing at the highest level, the Santa Cruz Megatower Frame is the foundation for serious riders who demand confidence in the roughest terrain. At the center is Santa Cruz’s lower-link VPP suspension design, offering supple traction off the top and efficient ramp-up when things get steep and fast.

Paired with a FOX Float X2 Factory shock, this setup provides wide adjustability and dependable control over repeated hits and deep landings. The frame is tuned around 29-inch wheels and a 170mm fork, offering straight-line stability and cornering precision at speed. Key features include a threaded 73mm bottom bracket, 200mm post-mount brake tabs, UDH compatibility, and integrated Glovebox storage—making it a race-ready chassis that’s built to be ridden hard and often.

With room for a 2.5in rear tire and a full-size water bottle, plus size-specific geometry that keeps riders centered across the board, the Megatower Frame is ready to evolve into your ultimate gravity machine.
