Santa Cruz Tallboy While the carbon Tallboy has been incredibly successful for Santa Cruz Bicycles, there is no denying it is a top shelf bike with a top shelf price, and for those of us out there who don't live in a mansion, the considerate chaps at Santa Cruz have brought their 29er VPP platform to a much more accessible pricepoint with an aluminum version of the Tallboy. Featuring the same 100mm (4") of rear travel, the Tallboy is designed as an XC/trail bike that is perfect for long days in the saddle on rolling, undulating terrain that brings out the best of the bigger wheels. Being the fastest growing segment in the mountain bike industry, the demand for 29er bikes like the Tallboy is increasing, as riders seek to increase their stability on the trail and benefit from a smoother ride that improves momentum over their smaller wheeled cousins. A 26" bike will still suit those riders who are after a more "animated" ride that allows them to really throw the bike around and whip around tight singletrack, though if you feel you could benefit from the increased traction, lower centre of gravity and trail-gobbling ability of the big wheels, a 29er Tallboy will keep you glued to the dirt whether you're winding up a steep climb or gliding over the top of a rock garden. There are a multitude of build options with the Tallboy, as with every Santa Cruz bike, and you can spec a 100 or 120mm travel fork up front, depending on the attitude you want the bike to have: 100mm for XC and endurance racing or 120mm for additional stability and comfort on the trails. Find out for yourself why the Santa Cruz Tallboy is becoming one of the most popular 29er bikes on the market. From Santa Cruz: “Tallboys have become mighty popular bikes in the relatively short time since we introduced them, and they have been getting rave reviews from the press and, more importantly, from the thousands of riders who’ve rolled off into the sunset aboard them. The pairing of VPP suspension and 29” wheels created a fast rolling, crisp handling, versatile bike that exploits the benefits of big wheels to the best of their advantage, at home anywhere from remote alpine singletrack to crowded jittery start lines. Now the tall can is available in aluminum – same geometry, same lines, same great suspension, teeny bit more weight, whole lot less money.”
