The Santa Cruz Tallboy C R1 Mountain Bike cuts a whole new swath across the trail bike landscape. This C-level carbon frame uses a slightly heavier, less-expensive grade of carbon fiber to achieve the same strength, stiffness, and durability you'll find in the CC-level frames, but using a bit more of the material to achieve it. Real world result is a 280 gram increase in frame weight. The versatile trail bike of choice for rapid riders like Greg Minnaar- the Tallboy is for those who don't roll with the pack.
In this 29-inch rendition, the Tallboy's renowned rowdy streak comes to the fore. Happy at full gas, up or down hill, the speed and agility of the 29 configuration will have you bagging on e-bikes at every turn.
A 68 degree head angle and 110mm of VPP travel distills the original Tallboy's playful character into something all the more mischievous. Longer reach and shorter chainstays fuel that personality, and bring the Tallboy bang up to date with the rest of the Santa Cruz range. A flip chip on the upper link, combined with a 120mm fork (for 29-inch), ensures geometry remains consistent across a vast range of build kits and sizes, from S to XXL.
