Fully dialed at every size: Proportional Geometry and frame stiffness tune

Chainstay length and seat angle are matched to the frame size (STA steepens and rear centre grows as frame size increases) so that every rider, no matter what height, gets the same balance of geometry and handling characteristics.

We tailor stiffness for every size to make sure everyone gets the same ride quality. Bigger riders means greater stresses on larger frames, but that's remedied with our size-specific frame stiffness tunes.

Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy 5

Significantly reducing peak anti-squat (over previous generations of Tallboy) has improved both small bump sensitivity and square-edge compliance. And because anti-squat values trend with anti-rise, we were also able to reduce the anti-rise to improve braking sensitivity.

VPP™ stands for virtual pivot point - an engineering principal synonymous with high performance that spans from short travel platforms like the Tallboy right up to our DH World Cup winning V10.

Some call 120mm “short travel”, others call it all the travel you'll need. The Tallboy is an efficient XC pedaler with a geo and shock tune that make it way more capable than the millimeters suggest.

The Tallboy has a lower starting ratio and increased ending ratio of the leverage curve. This makes it really sensitive further into the travel and helps the bike ride higher in its stroke, producing a more responsive, snappy feel.

SRAM Eagle Transmission - robuster, geschmeidiger, kabellos

Die nächste Generation des SRAM Eagle-Getriebes findest du an unseren neuen CC-Modellen. Sie ist eine radikal robuste, innovativ integrierte und vollständig eigenständige, kabellose Schaltung. Die Full-Mount Aufhängung sitzt direkt auf der Hinterrad-Achse und schafft eine wesentlich stärkere Verbindung mit dem Rahmen, während das besonders robuste Schaltwerk eine noch nie dagewesene Belastbarkeit bietet. Geschmeidige Schaltvorgänge sind durch die Kombination aus X-SYNC-Technologie und Kassetten-Mapping selbst unter Vollast möglich. Die neuen AXS Pods Schalthebel sind extrem ergonomisch und hochgradig anpassbar. So wird das Schalten leicht und intuitiv. Es ist einfach die fortschrittlichste Gangschaltung und fast so robust wie die Berge selbst.

Tallboy Frame Render

Die richtige Rahmengröße

Wenn Du zwischen zwei Rahmengrößen liegst, empfehlen wir, dass Du beide Optionen testest. Als Anhaltspunkt kannst Du die Reach- und Stack-Werte mit Deinem aktuellen Bike oder anderen bekannten Bikes vergleichen, auf denen Du Dich wohl fühlst. Wenn keine Testfahrt möglich ist, kannst Du Dich auch an den folgenden Tipps orientieren:

Das Tallboy ist erhältlich in den Größen XS - XXL.

Persönliche Vorlieben

Mit einem größeren Rahmen hast Du mehr Stabilität und Souveränität. Außerdem erhältst du mehr Bewegungsfreiheit im Rad, bei weniger Einfluss auf die Balance. Beim größeren Rahmen hast Du einen etwas längeren Radstand, was zusätzlich Sicherheit und Stabilität bringt. Daher bedarf es mehr Körpereinsatz und eine etwas aktivere Fahrweise, um das Bike zu führen. Kleinere Bikes fahren sich agiler und reagieren schneller auf den Input des Fahrers. Überlege Dir, was besser zu Deinem Fahrstil passt. Soll das Bike agil und aktiv sein? Oder eher spurtreu und souverän. Willst Du mehr oder weniger Einsatz zeigen, um das Bike auf dem Trail zu bewegen?

Körperproportionen

Auch bei gleicher Körpergröße sieht jeder Mensch anders aus. Wenn Du einen verhältnismäßig kurzen Oberkörper und lange Beine hast, würden wir zur kleineren Rahmengröße raten. Bei langem Oberkörper und langen Armen, solltest Du eher zum größeren Rahmen greifen.

FAQ's

The geometry chart shows two settings- how do I adjust that?

There's a "flip chip" on the link where the shock mounts. Just remove the lower shock bolt and flip the chips to the setting you desire.

Should I ride my Tallboy in Hi or Lo setting?

You should definitely try both, but we typically recommend starting in High. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained.

What is the recommended fork?

Our geometry is based off of a 130mm fork with a 44mm offset. We wouldn't recommend less travel than that, as the steering will be too twitchy and the BB will get a bit low. 140mm is the max travel fork we recommend.

What's the largest rear rotor that will fit on the Tallboy?

The Tallboy 5 will fit up to a 220mm rotor. The frame is 180mm-direct, so that's the minimum size that's compatible.

Is there chainguide compatibility?

Yes, this bike is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs for easy chain guide mounting. Most guides/bash guards that follow the ISCG-05 standard should fit.

What kind of headset does this bike use?
