Buy the Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon CS 2021
The new 120mm Tallboy makes big leaps again for a short travel bike. With a strong Lower Link VPP rear triangle, sporty design, typical Santa Cruz workmanship, and a rather radical geometry, the Tallboy is once again on the way to breaking the boundaries of bike categories.
Sure, 10mm more travel only sounds like a small change – but in combination with our new VPP suspension (controlled via the lower rocker arm), this is a big step for the Tallboy.
A bike that only knows full throttle and is ready to sprint at any time – whether uphill, downhill, or on a flat flow trail. The maximum efficiency of the VPP rear triangle results in pleasantly fast and light-footed handling. Technically, it’s on the same platform as our long-travel bikes, so it’s not just at home on classic XC terrain, but also on “real” trails. Paired with a 130mm fork, the new Tallboy is becoming increasingly attractive, even for aggressive bikers.
