The 2024 Santa Cruz Megatower 2 R is the perfect bike for those seeking high-performance, aggressive downhill riding with the ability to conquer any terrain. Built for the rugged demands of enduro, it combines power, durability, and control for an unbeatable ride. Here's a detailed breakdown of its incredible features:
Suspension
RockShox Super Deluxe Select Shock (230x62.5)
The Megatower 2 R features the RockShox Super Deluxe Select shock, designed to tackle rough and technical terrain. With a 230x62.5mm size, it delivers 170mm of rear suspension travel, soaking up bumps, drops, and technical obstacles with ease. Whether you're facing big hits or maintaining traction on loose surfaces, this shock keeps the ride smooth and controlled.
RockShox Zeb Base Fork (170mm)
Paired with the RockShox Zeb Base fork, the Megatower 2 R offers a confidence-inspiring 170mm of front suspension travel. The Zeb fork excels on aggressive, high-speed descents, giving you the stability and support needed to tackle everything from steep rock gardens to technical switchbacks. It’s a fork designed to handle extreme conditions, offering smooth performance and responsive handling.
Drivetrain
SRAM NX Eagle 12-Speed Drivetrain
The Megatower 2 R is equipped with the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, providing smooth and reliable shifting across a wide range of gears. The NX Eagle derailleur and 12-speed shifter give you easy and precise control, whether you’re climbing or descending. The SRAM PG1230 11-50t cassette ensures that you have the perfect gear for every situation, while the 12-speed chain keeps things running smoothly for miles.
SRAM Descendant Eagle Crankset (32t)
The SRAM Descendant Eagle 148 DUB crankset (32t) ensures maximum pedaling efficiency and durability. Built to withstand aggressive trail use, this crankset gives you the power you need for climbing technical sections while offering smooth engagement for the descent. Its design is optimized for high-performance, giving you the confidence to push harder on every ride.
SRAM DUB Threaded Bottom Bracket
The DUB 68/73mm threaded bottom bracket provides a stiff and reliable interface between the crankset and frame. The smooth rotation ensures energy-efficient pedaling, giving you the power transfer you need to maintain speed through every turn.
Wheels & Tires
Maxxis Assegai 29"x2.5" Front Tire
The front wheel is fitted with a Maxxis Assegai 29"x2.5" tire, designed to provide exceptional grip and control on loose or rocky terrain. The 3C MaxxGrip compound ensures maximum traction, while the EXO+ casing offers enhanced durability and puncture protection. Whether you’re tackling steep descents or off-camber turns, this tire gives you the confidence to ride harder and faster.
Maxxis Minion DHR II 29"x2.4" Rear Tire
The rear tire features the Maxxis Minion DHR II 29"x2.4"WT with a 3C MaxxTerra compound and EXO+ casing. The DHR II is a versatile tire that delivers outstanding braking traction and cornering stability, helping you stay in control during high-speed descents and technical maneuvers. It’s the perfect complement to the Assegai in the front, creating a balanced, durable setup.
SRAM MTH 716 Front Hub & SRAM MTH 746 Rear Hub
The SRAM MTH 716 front hub (15x110mm, Torque Cap, 6-Bolt) and the SRAM MTH 746 rear hub (12x148mm, HG, 6-Bolt) are built to withstand aggressive riding conditions. Both hubs feature durable bearings and ensure smooth rotation and power transfer. The 6-Bolt rotor system guarantees reliable braking performance, while the wider spacing offers increased wheel stiffness for better handling.
RaceFace AR Offset 30 Rims
Both the front and rear rims feature RaceFace AR Offset 30 rims, designed for high strength and durability. The 30mm internal width provides the perfect balance between weight and strength, allowing you to ride hard without compromising performance. These rims offer great support for the wide Maxxis tires, helping to reduce the chances of pinch flats while maintaining the agility and responsiveness of the bike.
Brakes
SRAM G2 RE Brakes
The SRAM G2 RE brakes provide powerful stopping power with their four-piston design, ideal for aggressive trail riding and downhill conditions. The G2 RE brakes offer excellent modulation, letting you control your braking force with precision. Whether you’re tackling fast descents or tricky technical sections, the G2 RE brakes give you the confidence to stop on a dime.
Cockpit & Finishing Kit
e13 TRS Base Handlebar & e13 Base Stem
The e13 TRS Base handlebar provides a comfortable and stiff platform for your hands, offering superior control on even the roughest terrain. Paired with the e13 Base stem, which is designed for strength and reliability, this cockpit setup gives you precise handling and confidence on every ride.
WTB Silverado Saddle
The WTB Silverado CroMo saddle offers comfort and support for long days on the trails. It’s designed with a slim profile to minimize weight while still offering enough padding for comfort during aggressive riding. Whether you’re descending, climbing, or tackling technical terrain, this saddle ensures you stay comfortable no matter the conditions.
SDG Tellis Dropper Seatpost
The SDG Tellis dropper seatpost (31.6mm) lets you quickly adjust your saddle height on the fly, optimizing your position for both climbing and descending. Whether you're facing steep descents or technical climbs, the dropper post allows you to lower the saddle for more control and raise it when you need to power through the pedals.
