What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"Riding the new Tallboy makes it clear how much the platform changed. The four-bar suspension stays active and planted through sections that would have had the previous generation skipping and deflecting."Why We Like ItSanta Cruz redesigned the Tallboy around a slacker head angle and steeper seat tube this generation, geometry changes that make the added travel feel intentional rather than incidental. The GX AXS wireless drivetrain is the right call at this tier, with no cables to route or adjust and shift quality that's consistent whether we're deep in the travel or spinning out on a fire road climb. Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead(R) Experts are always here to help.
