Product Info

The Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy C XT Complete Mountain Bike will surprise you with its big hit potential. The numbers tell you it's a 120mm travel bike, whippet-fast and wicked maneuverable. This much is true. What's not apparent until you ride it is this thing will fall right into the pack with bikes that are way bigger than it on downhills. This is Santa Cruz's idea of an XC bike, and their heavy duty pedigree shows up in every turn, rock garden, and side hit. This Tallboy will definitely pedal all day, but it's down for some shenanigans too. With Shimano's new XT 12 speed group, you're looking at a crisp machine.

Product Details

Frame/Shock

Carbon C FrameA 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.

Lower-Link Mounted VPP® SuspensionVPP 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.

Fox Float DPS Performance Elite Rear ShockPerformance Elite shocks have all the same internals as Fox Factory models, just without the Kashima coating. Simply put, this is a highly tuneable and smooth shock made for aggressive trail riding.

Shock AdjustmentsLever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Open Mode Adjust Tuning Range (1 / 2 / 3), Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound

Bottle Cage MountWithin the front triangle, fits piggyback shocks.

Fork

Fox 34 Float Performance ElitePerformance Elite forks retain the same adjustments, dampers, weight, and 7000 series aluminum upper tubes as Factory Series, but have black anodized upper tubes instead of Genuine Kashima Coat. In other words, this fork is as good as it gets!

Wheelset

Maxxis Dissector Front TireThe Dissector is Troy Brosnan’s go-fast signature tyre for extreme speed in downhill races or summer riding just for fun. As a front tire, it is ideal for dry, fast trails.

Maxxis Rekon Rear TireThis is a fast-rolling tire perfect for dry conditions and high speeds. A cross-country tire that's great for racing or daily riding, it was made for aggression and speed.

Industry Nine 1/1 HubsConfident and capable of cleaning the A-line yet budget friendly to save up for a season of bucket list rides, the 1/1 hub stays true to the performance heritage of Industry Nine. Featuring a dual phased-pawl drive mechanism accomplishing 90 POE and 4° engagement by way of a six pawl driver and 45 tooth drivering, 1/1 takes a no-nonsense approach in welcoming riders to Industry Nine.

RaceFace ARC Offset 30 RimsTough hubs connected to light and burly aluminum rims--this is a trail-ripping setup that's ready to absorb all the trail action you see. With great feel and even better durability, these wheels won't disappoint.

Additional Features

Santa Cruz Carbon HandlebarDesigned and made exclusively by Santa Cruz, using everything they've learned from creating World Championship winning carbon bicycles. Each bar has a dialed amount of stiffness, keeping vibration in check and minimizing arm fatigue. Discrete markers take the pain out of set-up alignments and stealth branding keeps things class.

RockShox Reverb Stealth Dropper SeatpostDon’t let its familiar good looks fool you—Reverb is a whole new weapon. Its internals have been completely re-engineered to improve on its already legendary performance and to offer enhanced reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have been re-evaluated and updated to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. Additional bushing overlap also improves performance over time. This is the brand-new Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.
