Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 C S-Kit 29" Bike - Gloss Melon

View Sizing and Geometry Charts

• Proportional Geometry and Frame Stiffness Tune - Chainstay length and seat angle are matched to the frame size (STA steepens and rear center grows as frame size increases) so that every rider, no matter what height, gets the same balance of geometry and handling characteristics
  
  
• 120mm VPP Travel - 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
  
  
• Snappy Suspension - The Tallboy has a lower starting ratio and 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
  
  
• Bump Buster - 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, Santa Cruz was able to reduce the anti-rise to improve braking sensitivity
  
  
• Glovebox - Place your ride essentials securely in the Tallboy's downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to hand
  
  
• Frame Material: Carbon C, 120mm travel - C Carbon frames use the same proprietary processes of the highest spec CC Carbon frames to match the same legendary strength and stiffness standards. But the use of a different grade of carbon material results in a minimal weight gain
