Megatower CC X0 AXS Transmission Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This bike is straight-up a weapon. It feels glued to the ground when you want it and pops when you need it. The new T-Type drivetrain is flawless under power, and Maven brakes are a massive upgrade—best modulation I’ve ever felt. It’s everything I want in a race-ready enduro build."

The Santa Cruz Megatower X0 AXS represents the pinnacle of modern enduro performance. Its long-travel, lower-link VPP platform delivers 165mm of rear travel with an ultra-composed feel, even in the roughest terrain. Paired with a 170mm FOX 38 Float Factory Elite fork and a Fox Float X2 Factory rear shock, this build is engineered to charge blind lines, back-to-back stages, and rowdy park days with supreme confidence.

The full SRAM X0 Eagle T-Type AXS Transmission takes wireless shifting to new levels of durability and precision, with a huge 10–52t range and in-ride gear security that never skips or slips. Braking is handled by the ultra-powerful SRAM Maven Silver Stealth setup, giving racers the control they need in tight corners and steep descents. A Santa Cruz carbon bar, OneUp dropper, and WTB Silverado saddle round out the cockpit for all-day comfort and control.

Wheels are built on Reserve 30 alloy rims laced to Industry Nine 1/1 hubs, wrapped in Maxxis Assegai EXO+ front and Minion DHR II DD rear tires, giving the Megatower the grip and toughness needed for all-mountain riding. With a Glovebox in-frame storage system, UDH compatibility, and rider-tuned geo by size, this bike is ready for anything the mountain throws at you.

Heads up — We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning—and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you’ll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
