With the Megatower X01 AXS RSV, Santa Cruz enter the race with a thoroughbred enduro racer. But how does it fare as an allrounder in our 2023 enduro group test?

Pros
  1. Very well implemented storage compartment
  2. Good balance between front and rear
  3. High front provides a lot of safety
Cons
  1. Tires do not live up to the bike's potential
  2. Short dropper post restricts freedom of movement
