Jonathon Simonetti
Vital Tested - The All-New Santa Cruz Megatower Santa Cruz just dropped our favorite enduro bike of the year.
- Ready to race
- Revised VPP suspension performance
- In-frame storage
- Can be "one bike" for big travel lovers
- All-day ride-ability
- Some may miss the adjustable wheelbase.
Alicia Leggett
The second iteration of the Megatower is stiff, responsive, and ready for almost anything.
- Versatile
- + Efficient
- comfortable climber+ Capable
- and fun descender+ Glovebox
- UDH compatibility+ Size-specific frame stiffness and chainstay length
- Expensive
- The large frame feels stiff for riders at the smaller end of the weight range
Simon Kohler
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?
- Very well implemented storage compartment
- Good balance between front and rear
- High front provides a lot of safety
- Tires do not live up to the bike's potential
- Short dropper post restricts freedom of movement
Peter Walker
New Santa Cruz Megatower GX AXS RSV 2022 enduro racer first ride review.
- Consistently high quality of craftsmanship
- Glovebox is cool and well-integrated
- Provides a lot of security in steep and hard terrain
- Intuitive handling and lots of traction
- Prone-to-flat tires are not suitable for the intended use.
- Rear suspension bobbing during uphill
Michael Biernoth
"Now bigger and 'more sinister'! That's the motto of the new Santa Cruz Megatower 2022. After two days of testing on demanding terrain, the Californian enduro bike with a full suspension and modern geometry impresses with convincing riding characteristics..."
