This 2023 Santa Cruz Megatower C GX AXS in Translucent Blue is a premium carbon enduro bike built for steep descents, technical terrain, and riders who want the convenience of wireless shifting on a proven long-travel platform. The medium Carbon C frame pairs a 170mm fork with 165mm of VPP rear suspension, giving the bike the stability and impact control required for aggressive mountain riding while retaining the climbing ability needed for full days on the trail. This example follows the original GX AXS Air factory specification with no component substitutions.
Condition Notes:
- Scratches on derailleur
- Scratch on right side seat stay in front of cable port exit
- Minor scratches on right side of head tube
- Scratches on fork decals
- Scratches on both crank arms
- Scratches on left side of rear triangle in front of rear axle
The Megatower uses Santa Cruz’s Carbon C construction for both the front and rear triangles, creating a durable and precise chassis with molded protection on the down tube, chainstay, seatstay, and shuttle-guard area. Its lower-link VPP suspension system controls 165mm of rear travel and is designed to balance pedaling support with deep, controlled travel on demanding descents. A flip chip at the lower-link shock mount allows the rider to fine-tune geometry between high and low positions.
A Fox Float 38 Performance fork provides 170mm of travel and a GRIP damper, giving the front end the stiffness and control needed for rough enduro terrain. At the rear, a RockShox Super Deluxe Select+ air shock manages the Megatower’s 165mm suspension platform. Together, these components form a capable suspension package for repeated impacts, hard braking, and sustained descents while preserving enough support for climbing and traversing between stages.
The drivetrain is built around SRAM GX Eagle AXS wireless 12-speed components. The electronic rear derailleur and AXS controller provide clean, cable-free shifting, while the SRAM GX Eagle XG-1275 10-52-tooth cassette delivers a broad range for steep climbs and fast descents. SRAM GX Eagle DUB cranks with a 30-tooth chainring complete the drivetrain, and the wireless system allows simple setup adjustments through SRAM’s AXS ecosystem.
SRAM Code R four-piston hydraulic brakes provide the stopping power required for a long-travel bike that is designed to carry speed. Large CenterLine rotors help manage heat during sustained descents and offer consistent braking performance in technical terrain. Race Face AR Offset 30 alloy rims are paired with Boost hubs and durable spokes, creating a strong wheel package with a supportive tire profile for aggressive trail and enduro use.
Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHR II tires provide dependable cornering and braking traction across loose, rocky, and technical terrain. The 29-inch wheel configuration helps the bike maintain momentum through roots, rocks, and braking bumps while improving rollover performance. A dropper post allows the saddle to move quickly out of the way for descents, and the Burgtec alloy cockpit gives the rider a wide, controlled position for high-speed terrain and technical lines.
The medium frame size offers a balanced fit for riders who want the Megatower’s full descending capability without the longer dimensions of larger sizes. The Translucent Blue finish highlights the frame’s shape and carbon construction, giving the bike a distinctive appearance that matches its aggressive intent. Practical frame details, including internal cable routing and protective frame guards, support long-term ownership and simplify routine service.
For riders seeking a premium enduro platform with wireless shifting, this 2023 Santa Cruz Megatower C GX AXS combines 165mm of VPP rear travel, a Fox 38 fork, SRAM GX Eagle AXS drivetrain, Code R brakes, and durable Race Face wheels. Offered at $4,199 against an $8,499 MSRP, this medium demo bike delivers serious descending capability and modern drivetrain performance at a substantial discount, with all known cosmetic wear clearly documented above.
