Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy C S Complete Mountain Bike 2021

Cross Country

With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm).

Trail

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

A lightweight chassis, EVOL air spring, and dual piston damper with 3-position switch create a pedal-friendly shock that soaks up the bumps and delivers pedal power to the ground with utmost efficiency.

Fox DPS Performance Series shocks have fewer adjustments than Performance Elite or Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and feature a black anodized finish instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.

Shock Adjustments - Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
 

With intuitive thumb actuated triggers, the GX Eagle shifter's positive feel gives the rider input to make shifts crisp and discernible every time. Its legendary reliability continues for all-day epics and all-time experiences, with an aluminum trigger ready for inevitable punishment and MatchMaker X compatibility.

The GX Eagle derailleur gets it done with an updated cage architecture that improves chain management. Refined to work with the new 10-52t cassettes, it’s also backwards compatible for the 10-50t versions.

Some riders test their limits more than others. For these riders, the GX Eagle DUB crankset allows them to go all in, every day they ride. The best aluminum crankset we make, engineered to deliver consistent performance every ride. Featuring our X-SYNC 2 tooth profile chainring for complete chain control. Each tooth's thickness is toleranced and controlled to work seamlessly with the chain's inner and outer links. DUB technology’s spindle design and bottom bracket provides a uniform approach to fitment, better sealing and forward and backward compatibility. Simply put, the forged aluminum GX Eagle DUB crankset is the no frills choice of riders who know.

FEATURES

• SRAM's best aluminum crankset.
• Direct mount interface compatible with chainrings across the entire Eagle Ecosystem.
• Signature GX colorway as part of Eagle Colorsystem – pairs with all cassettes and chains, from Black to Gold to Rainbow to HardChrome and all-new Copper.

The new 10-52 Eagle cassette for riders who prioritize all day function over anything else. With an expanded, 520-percent gear range giving riders more ability to spin and recover on the burliest climbs. Featuring FULL PIN technology that uses lightweight, precision engineered steel cogs permanently connected with high-strength stainless steel pins. An open design similar to our X-DOME cassette that aids in mud clearance, giving riders crisp shifting performance and longer component life.

FEATURES

• 520-percent gear range utilizing the industry standard XD hub driver.
• Light and strong FULL PIN technology similar to X-DOME bringing true 1x gear range to more riders and builds.
• Lunar and black colorway makes the XG-1275 cassette right at home on any build.

The GX Eagle chain is designed with SRAM's Eagle geometry, the GX Eagle chain features solid pin construction, Eagle PowerLock and smooth, efficient shifting that you can count on every time out.

FEATURES

• All-new Eagle PowerLock chain connector with FLOW LINK technology provides better chain-guiding and increased longevity.
• Unique features and design also provide significantly improved wear resistance on Eagle cassettes and rings.

The core of brake performance is consistency. Reliability. Trust. And with G2 R, SRAM focused on offering a premium value without compromising the heart of the operation. This brake gives riders the G2s famed “Mini-Code” power and a whole suite of SRAM standard features at an absolutely unbeatable value.

Don’t let its familiar good looks fool you—Reverb is a whole new weapon with clean, stealthy internal routing. Engineered to provide legendary performance and reliability: all the smallest details, down to the single seal, have had to pass the hardest and longest durability tests. This is the RockShox Reverb, engineered for the next-generation mountain biker.

With a tread design that deftly balances rolling speed with braking and cornering traction, it’s no wonder why the Minion DHF is one of the most imitated tires in mountain biking.​

• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.
• Tubeless Ready (TR): Tubeless tires allow riders to run lower air pressures for improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and less chance of flatting.

With side knobs borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF, but widened to provide more support, the DHR II corners like no other. The center tread features ramped leading edges to improve acceleration and sipes to create a smooth transition when leaning the bike. Paddle-like knobs on the center tread dig in under hard braking and help keep the bike under control.
