Unreasonably fun, across a wide range of trails. When you factor in everything the Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy 5 C GX AXS Complete Mountain Bike excels at, it's like five bikes in one. It's 120mm of high octane pumptrack bikepack singletrack bermslap, encased in a bombproof carbon wrapper. This Tallboy has the latest VPP® suspension design, size-specific rear ends, Glovebox™ in-frame storage, and SRAM's latest T-Type wireless drivetrain – bombproof tech in the GX trim. Seriously, you only get to ride one bike at a time, and a Tallboy is more fun always. Show up fashionably late and finish first with the biggest grin!
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Travel – 130mm Front / 120mm Rear
Wheel Size – 29"
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!
Proportional Chainstay Lengths – With rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.
