A downhill bike that goes everywhere
Seriously. The Megatower’s big wheels, long travel, and tough carbon fiber chassis delivers the high-speed security traits of a downhill bike. Yet the relatively-steep seat tube angle and size-specific geo maintain the Mega’s mega pedaling ability—elevating its reputation as the perfect choice for big gravity rides and DH park laps.
Design Details
Storage Compartment
Store all your ride essentials under the secure latch and panel in the downtube of our bicycle, aptly named the Glovebox. This includes a dedicated Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, providing refined pouches to keep your necessary items easily accessible during your journey.
Carbon Frame Options
Choose between the full carbon C and CC frame options, both crafted in our own factory. Both frames are equally robust, offering a lifetime warranty. The CC frames utilize top-notch materials and production processes, while the C frames, though slightly heavier, come at a more affordable price point.
Optimized Seat Tube Angle
Experience a steep seat tube angle that positions you perfectly for conquering steep inclines and thrilling descents. The angle becomes progressively steeper with larger sizes, ensuring an ideal riding position for everyone.
VPP™ Travel
Benefit from 165mm of VPP™ travel with a relatively low leverage ratio, simplifying setup and providing a controlled feel throughout the travel range.
Coil and Water Compatibility
The lower-link flip chip and compatibility with large-body shocks, such as a coil, allow you to customize your ride. Additionally, the front triangle accommodates a water bottle, offering practicality alongside performance.
Adjustable Travel
While the standard travel is set at 165mm, opting for a shock with a longer, 65mm stroke enables you to increase the travel to 170mm.
Attention to Detail
Enhance your biking experience with thoughtful features, including a protective mud flap for the rear shock, a durable rubberized downtube protector, and organized cable routing within the frame and swingarm.
Proportional Geometry
Enjoy a balanced riding experience with a chainstay length on the Megatower that is proportionally matched to each frame size, ensuring consistent geometry for riders of all heights.
Comprehensive Size Range
From size small to XXL, the Megatower caters to riders of all sizes, ensuring that everyone can enjoy its impressive features.
