Overview
About this bike
The Tallboy is Santa Cruz's full-suspension 29er. You know if Santa Cruz is going to do a big wheeler, they'll do it right. They start with a 6.6-pound aluminum frame, and give it 100mm of travel and a nimble geometry that leaves nothing to be desired. Rail the corners, float over roots, charge through rock gardens, the Tallboy is down. The brilliant VPP suspension silences all comers and has traction in spades, whether you're spinning up a techy climb or blasting downhill. Key frame details include a tapered head tube, aluminum upper linkage and grease ports for the links. This build includes a 100mm Recon fork, Deore/SLX drivetrain, WTB/XT wheels with Maxxis tires, and an Easton bar and stem.
