Product Info
The Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy 5 C R Complete Mountain Bike is the smartest luxury purchase you'll ever make. Not only does it rip on every type of ride, but this R-level build continues the almost reasonable lunacy with proven, simple, and dependable parts. This latest Tallboy has all of Santa Cruz's big bike bonus features, from the redesigned VPP® suspension that seems to speed up through rough stuff to size-specific rear triangles and the cavernous Glovebox™ in-frame storage. Let the rest of the crew hem and haw over which bike to choose this weekend: the Tallboy is just more fun everywhere, especially in the mountains.
Product Details
Key Features
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Travel – 130mm Front / 120mm Rear
Wheel Size – 29"
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions. This system provides huge design flexibility, allowing Santa Cruz to manipulate shock rates to the intended purpose and character of each model; from short travel endurance bikes to World Championship winning DH machines. This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
The Glovebox™ – Seal whatever you want to carry on your ride inside your downtube. Secure and easy to access, the Glovebox™ has a Tool Wallet and Tube Purse inside, to help organize your stuff too. Simply cavernous!

Biking Type:
Mountain
More
Biking Type
Mountain Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.
-
Used For:
Cross Country, Trail
More
Used For
Cross Country With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm). Trail Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Suspension:
Full Suspension
More
Suspension
Full Suspension Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.
-
Frame Material:
Carbon
More
Frame Material
Carbon Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.
