Santa Cruz Tallboy 6 CC XX LTD FA Chris King RSV Complete Mountain Bike 2027

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.

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.

Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

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.

Built for endless days in the mountains, Pike Ultimate Flight Attendant will keep you out past dinnertime. The groundbreaking automatic suspension system has an improved algorithm with all new personalization to match your riding preferences, your terrain, your style, and your physical capabilities. Pike is upgraded with the Charger 3.1 Flight Attendant damper for the right balance of comfort, control, and speed. The industry-leading automatic suspension system now boasts a fork that’s better than ever before.

Give your all-day trail bike the firepower it needs for rugged terrain, plus the efficiency of an automatic suspension system. Super Deluxe Ultimate Flight Attendant is a race-proven, award-winning rear shock that keeps getting better. The latest generation has decreased High Speed Compression damping to devour scree fields. The proven electronic 3-position Flight Attendant RC3 damper instantly changes suspension settings so you can ride stress-free. Focus on riding; find your flow.

The AXS Pod transforms the crucial act of rider inputs into a vastly more personal experience for all of your AXS controls.

Engineered as integrated, interdependent transmission components, the T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface. Its game-changing Full Mount attachment method creates a far stronger connection and grips both sides of the frame. The new Transmission derailleurs feature the same intuitive pairing and set-up procedure as our Eagle AXS derailleurs. A tucked-in profile houses replaceable skid plates that enhances dependability in high-pressure racing environments. The XX Eagle Transmission derailleur features an overload clutch, accommodating common maintenance and features that real world riders really appreciate. 

With multiple World Championship medals, EWS series wins and Olympic gold medals to its name, XX Eagle cranks set the standard. The XX Eagle DUB Crank is the evolution of that standard. Carbon fiber engineered with a foam core to give both incredible strength and maximized stiffness. Now pair it with the remarkable new XX Eagle Transmission (T-Type) direct mount chainring, and the spotlight turns from its performance to its appearance, because it absolutely looks like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The XX Eagle Transmission crank also features a first-of-its-kind removable and replaceable bash guard system that riders will appreciate.

FEATURES

• Carbon with foam core
• Light with maximized stiffness
• Stunning, never-before-seen look
• T-Type compatibility
• Removable bashguard
• Powermeter ready

The XX Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Cassette is a major reason why Eagle Transmission offers the best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load. Thanks to its full X-Sync design, the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Literally. Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the XX Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. From its massive 520% gear range, the 52 tooth cog steps down with improved gear progression with 44 and 38 tooth cogs in the low end (compared to the Eagle drivetrain 10-52-tooth cassette). It lasts far longer and delivers more precision with the use of less extreme chain angles throughout the entire range. Featuring a clearly marked Setup Cog, install is both simple and fool-proof. Utilizes hardened tool steel machined X-Dome design for the cluster and stamped steel 38T and 44Tcogs are pinned to the lighter weight aluminum 12th gear (Spider Cog).

FEATURES

• Full X-SYNC for best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load
• Optimized gear steps on low end
• 55mm chainline compatibility for more moderate chain angle, longer wear and greater precision
• Setup Cog for fool-proof set up
• Utilizes well accepted and broadly available XD driverbody
• Features X-DOME with a lighter aluminum 1st gear

The first thing to know about the XX Eagle Transmission chain is that it’s the strongest SRAM has ever made. Specifically engineered to optimize Eagle Transmission, this all-new T-Type design features a unique flat top. Not only does this shape maximize shifting performance, but it also contemporizes the look of your super bike. The chain features a hollow pin design and is finished in a long-wearing, high durability chrome.

FEATURES

• Strongest SRAM chain ever. Specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission.
• Flattop profile, smooth-shift bottom profile. Ultimate shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics.
• Longer-wearing, Hard Chrome finish and hollow pins.

Maven Ultimate features monstrous 18 and 19.5-millimeter pistons driving 50% more power than Code. But best-in-class power means nothing unless you’re able to harness it. Swinglink translates rider input for progressive power throughout the lever pull, maintaining SRAM’s signature ride feel. And because of a stiff 4-bolt caliper that sheds an incredible amount of heat, that feel remains consistent, so the last corner feels like the first corner. But with so much baseline power on hand, there is more range than ever before to tune the ride qualities to exactly how you want with different pad materials, and rotor sizes. Maven Ultimate pairs a sleek high polish lever body to a caliper with machined edges and titanium hardware for a finish worthy of any modern super bike. And for unrivaled ease of customization, features tool-free Reach and Contact Point Adjust.

Known for its no-nonsense smooth cable actuation, short overall length, and easy serviceability, the OneUp Dropper is a solid choice for dependable and customizable performance.

Designed in conjunction with Aussie DH racer Troy Brosnan, the Dissector seeks to minimize drag while retaining cornering control. This versatile tire can be used as a front, a pair, or as a rear depending on trail conditions.
