SANTA CRUZ TALLBOY C S 2024 BIKE

The XC bike for downhillers
The Tallboy has earned a loyal following among those looking for a benchmark bike that can withstand the relentless efforts of power-hour laps or all-day missions in search of the best trails. The Tallboy’s highly refined VPP suspension blends pedaling efficiency with the ability to tackle anything in its path. If there’s ever been an XC bike for gravity riders, the Tallboy is it.

Fully tuned for every size: Proportional geometry and frame stiffness adjustment
Chainstay length and seat tube angle are size-specific (with rear center length increasing and rear center height rising with frame size) to ensure that every rider, regardless of height, gets the same handling and geometry balance.

We tune frame stiffness by size to ensure the same ride quality for everyone. Larger riders put more stress on bigger frames, and we address that with size-specific frame stiffness adjustments.

SANTA CRUZ TALLBOY C S 2024 – KEY FEATURES:

• We’ve borrowed our longer-travel geometry to create a bike with a 65.5-degree head angle, generous front center, and short offset fork.
• The 120mm VPP suspension, driven by the lower link, is built to tackle tough climbs and fast descents.
• The low rolling resistance and larger contact patch of 29-inch wheels inspire confidence and help riders move efficiently over the terrain.
• Proportional geometry: seat tube angle and rear center grow with frame size for optimal handling across the size range.
• Glovebox frame storage: holds all your ride essentials so you can ditch the pack or always be ready with spares.
