Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon C R 29" Mountain Bike 2020
The Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon C R 29" Mountain Bike blends a full carbon frame with full suspension and 29" wheels to grant versatile performance that shines on any trail. With efficient short-travel suspension but a long-travel inspired geometry, the Tallboy is set to attack any course of any severity with utmost velocity.
The frame is composed of Santa Cruz's own blend of carbon fibre, and this naturally blesses the ride with a responsive and reactive character. The main triangle is partnered with a VPP rear suspension design that uses a lower-link mounted shock arrangement. This configuration offers smooth and progressive damping to enhance line accuracy and composure markedly. The FOX Rhythm 34 fork complements the frame by cushioning and stabilising the ride across even the most rutted of paths.
An aggressive geometry has been inspired by the longer travel bikes in the brand's range, and this includes a 65.5-degree head angle, a generous front centre, a short fork offset, short chainstays and a relatively low bottom bracket. The result of these tweaks is a chassis that is yearning to be ridden hard into any turn or up any incline, no matter the severity.
The WTB aluminium rims are paired with SRAM Boost hubs via strong DT Competition spokes to make a robust wheelset that is reliable, nimble and low-maintenance. These wheels are paired with Maxxis Minion tubeless-ready tyres that grant multi-surface traction.
A SRAM NX Eagle 1x12-speed gear set up provides a vast range of ratios and changes with a smooth and slick action. The SRAM Guide T hydraulic brakes complete an already thorough spec sheet by affording powerful and composed stopping power no matter the trail conditions.
