Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower C GX AXS Transmission Mountain Bike

Tackle massive descents with the Megatower GX AXS—big travel, big wheels, and race-proven geometry

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"The Megatower GX AXS is my go-to for charging through technical descents without hesitation. The 170mm FOX 38 up front soaks up massive hits, while the size-specific geometry keeps climbing efficient despite its enduro prowess. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type drivetrain shifts flawlessly, and the glovebox storage means I always have my tools on hand. Whether it´s park laps or a rugged backcountry mission, this bike keeps me confident and in control."

When we´re dropping into steep, technical descents or hammering through rock gardens, we need a bike that´s as confident as we are. The Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS delivers the big-mountain capability we crave with its Carbon C frame, 29-inch wheels, and a plush 170mm/165mm suspension setup that thrives on aggressive terrain.

Fox´s 38 Float Performance Elite fork and Float X shock keep the ride composed at high speeds, absorbing big hits while maintaining traction on unpredictable surfaces. The SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain ensures crisp, wireless shifting with a massive gear range for tackling both climbs and descents. Whether we´re hitting enduro lines or all-day backcountry routes, the Megatower is built to handle it all.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you´ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
