Overview
About this bike
From charging up punchy climbs and sprinting across flowing ribbons of singletrack, to rallying over root-infested descents and ripping through turns, the Tallboy 29 combines all-out speed and rowdy trail-taming agility for nonstop fun everywhere you ride. 110mm of VPP rear suspension lets you mash on the pedals with satisfying response, and with 120mm up front your point-and-shoot attack is rewarded with predictable, stable handling from the aluminum frame. Boost hub spacing improves tracking through the rough stuff and, coupled with the geometry-changing Flip Chip, also allows you to run a 27.5+ wheelset for amazing versatility from just one bike. The Tallboy 29 Aluminum D build features SRAM's NX 1x11 transmission, Level hydraulic disc brakes, and a Race Face cockpit to create a solid point of entry for accessing new backcountry adventures.
