Santa Cruz Bicycles Megatower CC Mountain Bike Frame

Megatower CC Frame crushes big terrain with 165mm VPP travel and FOX Float X2 support

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This is the kind of frame you build when you want a bike that’s fearless on descents but still pedals clean. I’ve built a Megatower for enduro racing and another for park days—both feel like they can take a beating without ever flinching. The FOX X2 is a beast, and the geometry just keeps you centered no matter how steep or fast things get."

For riders who live for steep descents, deep travel, and tight lines at full speed, the Santa Cruz Megatower CC Frame is the launchpad to your next dream build. Whether you´re racing EWS stages or pounding out lap after lap at the park, the Megatower brings a confident, race-tuned platform wrapped in Santa Cruz’s most refined enduro geometry to date.

At its core is a Carbon CC frame paired with a FOX Float X2 Factory shock, tuned around 165mm of lower-link VPP suspension that’s plush off the top and stable when things get fast. Built for 29-inch wheels front and rear, and optimized around a 170mm fork, the Megatower balances rollover speed with low-slung agility and straight-line confidence. A threaded bottom bracket, UDH compatibility, integrated Glovebox storage, and size-specific geo round out the frame features that make this platform not only elite—but ready for real-world abuse.
