Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesThere are few better bikes to spend your hard-earned cash on than the Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy A R Complete Mountain Bike. The VPP suspension has been redesigned, with the rear shock moved to the lower link. This gives the latest Tallboy a 10mm increase in travel along with more stability than its predecessor (already a trail favorite). This bike climbs like crazy, is hyper-maneuverable, and stays more planted at speed than any shorter-travel bike has a right to. This aluminum R-level build merges unique versatility with solid components so well that it's pretty much unbeatable.
120mm 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.

A Performance graphics package ties in the black-on-black look.
