Picked up a new to me Santa Cruz Megatower v2 cc from pinkbike.
I was looking for a longer travel bike as I plan on entering some more races this year and also wanted a bike for trips away. I’d found a few v1 megatowers then this popped up on pinkbike for a bit more than I originally wanted to spend but the spec is top notch.
I went out for a quick spin this afternoon and first impressions are very good. Surprised how much I liked the axs stuff and the brakes. I was planning on selling the Lewis brakes and getting some code rsc as that’s what I’ve got on my other bikes but from the first ride it’s pretty clear how powerful they are so may give them more time before deciding what to do with them.
The formula forks and shock need some more time to set up properly but I just got it home fitted some pedals and went out for a ride
Happy that I’ll finally fit in with all the other Santa Cruz owners in Peaslake!
That is a nice bike and AXS works brilliantly
I have some bad news for you though....

you're too late, they've all got motors now!
Nice looking bike.
When I saw the title I was wondering what you’d got. I was close but had predicted that there’d be a motor. Im a bit disappointed
Ps
nice bike. I have some formula forks. I feel they work better with more damping than you’d expect.
There is a video of Josh bryceland having his forks set up by a formula technician. It’s not a technical video, but I found it useful to watch.
Cheers I’ll check it out.
the forks felt quite harsh but when I checked the pressures at home they had less pressure in the negative chamber than the positive. So I’ve sorted that out and will see how it goes tomorrow.
