Overview
About this bike
Forget about discouraging slippery roots and momentum-sucking sand — the Tallboy 27+ is pure inspiration when it comes to tackling challenging terrain. Wide 27.5 x 2.8-inch tires are the secret to your success, providing extra traction and float thanks to the larger contact patch. Paired with 110mm of VPP suspension in the rear and 130mm up front, you'll find the Tallboy's stance to be perfectly suited for picking your way up gnarly climbs as well as maintaining speed over soft and loose surfaces. The Tallboy 27+ Carbon C R is built around Santa Cruz' updated carbon frame and includes a Flip-Chip that changes the bike's geometry to accommodate 29-inch wheels, giving you supreme versatility in just one bike. Fox suspension components keep the tires glued to the ground while power is efficiently transferred through a SRAM NX 1x11 transmission. SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes mated to 180mm rotors keep speed in check, and the Race Face cockpit includes an Aeffect dropper post and a stiff 35mm-bore handlebar for the ultimate experience in bike handling and control.
