Santa Cruz Tallboy CC GX AXS mountain bike with wireless shifting and four-bar suspension
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Riding the new Tallboy makes it clear how much the platform changed. The four-bar suspension stays active and planted through sections that would have had the previous generation skipping and deflecting."
Why We Like It
Santa Cruz redesigned the Tallboy around a slacker head angle and steeper seat tube this generation, geometry changes that make the added travel feel intentional rather than incidental. The GX AXS wireless drivetrain is the right call at this tier, with no cables to route or adjust and shift quality that's consistent whether we're deep in the travel or spinning out on a fire road climb.
Heads up! We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning, and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.

Santa Cruz Tallboy

More Trail, Less Weight
CC Carbon on every build. 300 grams saved. 10mm more travel front and rear.
What Makes The Tallboy

New VPfree Suspension
After testing 15 link iterations, Santa Cruz landed on the new four-bar platform that pedals better and descends harder than any previous Tallboy. It tracks better through rough terrain on the way up, and stays planted and controlled on the way down.

CC Carbon On Every Build
Once reserved for top-tier builds, CC Carbon is now standard across the entire Tallboy lineup. Their lightest, stiffest carbon construction delivers responsive handling and cuts 300 grams from the previous generation.

Rebuilt For More Travel
Updated geometry balances a slacker head tube angle for stability on descents with a steeper seat tube angle for power on climbs. More travel, no efficiency penalty.

Terrain Tuned Flip Chip
Two geometry settings give riders precise control over how the Tallboy feels on trail. High keeps the bike efficient on long climbs, low adds stability for technical descents.

Glovebox V2
In-frame storage keeps trail essentials accessible without adding bulk outside the frame. An improved latch and longer downtube mean more capacity and a rattle-free ride.
