Product Description
The Santa Cruz Tallboy 4 takes a typical XC bike to a whole new level, with a streamlined design mimicking their longer travel bikes to allow you to really open up the taps shredding the trails. With slightly increased travel (130mm front, 120mm rear) and geometry sharing the same principles as Santa Cruz's longest travel travel bikes, this bike feels just as at home on cross country trails as it does on more extreme trails, making it a real all rounder thanks to a responsive and lightweight back end as well as having super-efficient suspension. Santa Cruz's own VPP suspension design works on the principle of having two links rotating in opposite directions connecting the front and rear triangles to create an extremely robust chassis. The Tallboy has relatively short chainstays to give the ride a lively and playful feel, while a reasonably low bottom bracket for low centre of gravity and 29 inch wheels make the bike super fast rolling and stable. The C R model features a super light carbon frame. SRAM's NX Eagle drivetrain gives reliable and crisp shifting so you can flick through the gears with ease when you're tackling rolling terrain, with a wide range cassette to ensure you're never struggling for a gear on even the steepest of climbs
