So far this is the best bike ever ride. It has a lot stability. I justo was in a hightower LT C. I started jumping with that bike. But since I test Megatower. It was a big difference. To me is unbelievable. Now I can go down hill faster. Jumping a lot easy. For me claiming no problem. Is just preference too. Thanks for sharing your videos Im only 2 years doing mountain bike but I never realized how quickly I will be flying. To me is a dream

I absolutely love my 2019 SC Mega! It is my one bike. I also upgraded the handlebars, but I went with the one up 35's. The bars made a world of difference! Great review, informative and to the point. Keep up the great work.

Also have a tallboy and agree with everything you say! Just for info it will fit a DPX2 rear shock happily, though clearance on the water bottle is very tight!

Mitch thank you for the review. I’m 6’2” and 220. This is the first review I’ve seen mentioning an XXL. I’m curious of your height and thoughts on size for me. Also do you run XXL Tallboy? I have a Tallboy AL1 that cracked at the chainstay so Santa Cruz is giving me a deal on a new frame so I’m doing research. Thanks in advance!

I suppose that makes sense. Although you still have the ability to shorten the rear end length to quicken up handling as well.

Hi, Im looking at this frame, one is a 2019 green colour with air shock or a 2020 matt grey one with coil like the frame above. £300 difference between the two with the coil model being more expensive. Which would you go for? My current frame has a crack in it, but I am running a push elevensix which won't transfer over and a fox 36 with coil conversion to 170mm. I mostly ride enduro tracks etc rather than lots of jumps and bike parks. Thanks.

@@MitchOnTwoWheels Thanks for your reply, and I think the new headtube style is sexier, like on the new 5010 and NOMAD. And 170mm would be a monster eating up all the hits easily. Yeah probably the new and old Megatower would be roughly the same, but the current ones are just out of stock in my country, so I'd better go for the next new one in this case.
