Shop all Santa Cruz Bicycles Shop sale Santa Cruz BicyclesThe Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy A R Complete Mountain Bike doesn't care if you call it a trail bike, an XC racer, or just a good old mountain bike. It's all of these things, but all it wants to do is rip. Made from dependable and rugged aluminum alloy, this is a lightweight short-travel bike that'll pedal with legshavers all day long, with quick acceleration and an efficient drivetrain. But being a Santa Cruz, the Tallboy relishes going rapidly downhill, and will surprise bros in baggy shorts on trails that feature more abrupt angles. With a SRAM NX Eagle™ 12-speed drivetrain and aggressively-knobbed rubber, the Tallboy is a bike built for speed and fun.
110mm 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.
Fox Float Performance DPS – For a lightweight, inline shock, the DPS packs a lot of performance.

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