Santa Cruz Tallboy CC X0 AXS RSV trail bike with Reserve carbon wheels and wireless shifting
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Tallboy platform changed enough that the first descent felt like I was on a whole new bike. The four-bar suspension absorbs square-edge hits that would have kicked the previous generation off line, and the steeper seat tube keeps me pushing efficiently on the way back up rather than spinning out over the front wheel."
Why We Like It
Santa Cruz moved to a four-bar platform after testing 16 different suspension configurations, resulting in a leverage curve that stays linear and consistent throughout the travel rather than building progressively in ways that can make a bike feel harsh mid-stroke. The Reserve carbon wheels at this build tier reduce rotating mass at both ends, where weight savings translate into how the bike accelerates and handles direction changes.
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.
