Santa Cruz Megatower 2 C R Bike

A Downhill Bike That Goes Everywhere

If you're looking for a mountain bike that can descend the steepest terrain and roll over everything in its path, then you'll want a downhill bike. If you want all that, but want to still climb back to the top of the mountain, then you'll want an enduro bike. The Santa Cruz Megatower 2 C R Bike has big wheels, long travel, and a tough carbon fiber chassis that delivers the high-speed security traits of a downhill bike. The Carbon C frame uses 170mm of travel on the front and 165mm of travel on the rear. The frame also features VPP suspension, a threaded 73mm bottom bracket, internal cable routing, integrated frame protection, Glovebox for additional storage inside the frame, and a chain guide.

The R version of the Santa Cruz Megatower comes with a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain. This includes a cassette that has a hill-crushing 11-50T gear range that makes climbing and pedaling through demanding terrain much easier. SRAM G2 RE hydraulic disc brakes provide highly reliable stopping power so you can descend under control. RaceFace AR Offset 30 29" rims are paired with Maxxis Assegai and Minion DHRII tires that can be set up tubeless for a smoother ride, better traction, and fewer flats. With the SDG Tellis Dropper Post, you'll be able to quickly lift and lower your saddle with the press of a lever.

This Bike Might Change the Way You Look at E-bikes: Orbea Rise V1 Long-term Review!

We get a lot of questions about e-bikes, especially the Orbea Rise, so we figured we’d throw up a quick long-term review of one from one of the employees here at Jenson, Alex. Alex lives up in the mountains here in Southern California and has to do a fair bit of climbing and pedaling around at his local trail system to get to trails. Because he is in such high elevation, oxygen levels are different and make it a bit more difficult to breathe. This alone made it hard for him to enjoy long rides, especially when temperatures drop and snow season arrives.

Short Travel High Pivot Bikes!?? The New 2024 Norco Optic and Sight MX!

The Norco Optic and Sight are a couple of the most popular trail and all-mountain bikes available, respectively. New for 2024, Norco has completely updated their suspension platform, moving from a traditional 4-bar design to a high-pivot 4-bar design to increase versatility. No matter how much travel you choose, a high pivot bike will be able to punch above its weight class.

The Orbea Occam SL

Brand new for 2024, Orbea has released a new, trail-focused version of the Occam; the Occam SL. With 140 millimeters of travel front and rear, the choice between a lightweight carbon frame or slightly heavier alloy frame, asymmetric frame design to maintain lower weight, internal frame storage, optional frame protection, front and rear suspension lockout, headset cable routing, an integrated chain guide and many other unique features, this is one of the best bikes we've ridden this year and is one of the best all-around trail bikes on the market right now.

Take a Look at the Juliana Furtado and Roubion!

With so many choices of bikes you can choose to purchase, not all of them are made to fit every rider out there. Some bikes may be too progressive, some too long, some too short, etc. When a bike comes from the factory, it may not be totally suitable for the rider which leads to more money coming out of pocket to help tailor a more fitting ride. Luckily, there are brands out there who know this is a problem so they make adjustments from the factory to help better fit their customer base. One of these brands is Juliana Bicycles.

Looking Into the Juliana Wilder and Joplin!
