Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon The Tallboy is Santa Cruz's introduction into the world of 29er bikes, and they have definitely started with a bang! Weighing in at just 5 pounds for the frame and shock, the carbon Tallboy has achieved an incredible weight for a 29er, though more impressive is Santa Cruz's claim that it is stronger and stiffer than any other 29er available, regardless of its weight. Santa Cruz Bicycles are really pushing the boundaries with their carbon frames, with some unique construction methods such as the one piece lay-up and curing, the use of continuous fibres around key tube junctions and a fiber compaction process that allows for minute control over the external and internal shape of each frame. As a result, they are creating some of the strongest and stiffest carbon fiber frames on the market, which is ideal for a 29er frame as they traditionally suffer from additional flex due to the longer frame members and larger wheels. This stiff carbon main frame with its 4 oversized 15mm aluminum pivot axles, stout mini links and solid rear carbon triangle makes for an impressive ride that will have your wheels tracking straighter and with less deflection when railing berms and technical rock gardens. With 100mm (4") of VPP travel out back and the capability to take a 100-120mm fork up front with its Tapered headtube, the Tallboy is ideal for XC and trail riding whether you want to front up at the race course, or just hit the local trail head and leave your mates in a cloud of dust. Whatever your flavour, you can be confident that the Tallboy, like every Santa Cruz bike, is built by mountain bikers for mountain bikers and as a result, is super fun ride. From Santa Cruz: “Combining the acclaimed performance and durability of the latest VPP suspension with a sophisticated carbon fiber chassis and a set of big 29” wheels, we present the Tallboy. The curvaceous carbon fiber frame is more than just a pretty face: it offers amazing stiffness and strength while keeping weight feathery light. That, plus 100mm of rear wheel travel paired with fast rolling large diameter wheels spells out one thing: Long Haul Trucker.” The Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon 29er features:
