SANTA CRUZ TALLBOY 5 C GX1 AXS 29 BIKE

Over the years, the Tallboy has built a solid reputation among cyclists looking for a bike that can handle long hours in the saddle without compromising performance on technical descents. Its optimized VPP™ suspension offers:

• Excellent pedaling efficiency
• Stability and control on descents
• Versatility across a variety of terrains

If there were an XC bike made for downhillers, it would definitely be the Tallboy. For the modern rider, it represents the essence of true down-country riding.

SANTA CRUZ TALLBOY 5 C GX1 AXS 29 KEY FEATURES:

Durable Carbon Frame

Santa Cruz frames aren’t disposable. With proper maintenance, they can last a rider’s lifetime. For Santa Cruz, carbon means durability—not just lightness—backed by a warranty and crash replacement policy.

VPP Suspension Travel

The Tallboy may look like a short-travel bike, but it delivers even more riding fun and propulsion. Thanks to balanced geometry and sophisticated suspension, it’s far more capable on the trail than the numbers suggest.

Geometry That Adapts

The Tallboy’s chainstay length and seat angle are tailored to frame size, ensuring every rider gets the same well-balanced geometry.
