Your Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy C S Complete Mountain Bike will leave them questioning their bike purchase, whether that was too far XC or DH. You're roasting up climbs like a 120mm XC bike, but your tire tracks match those of a full-on enduro sled. This is a bike that will go as far as you push it, with geometry and suspension that leave classic XC bikes quivering at the top of rocky chutes and far in the rear view mirror by the halfway point. It's a short travel bike with the heart of a DH racer's and it's an absolute blast to ride. This model is built up with a SRAM GX drivetrain and solid Fox suspension.
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.
Lower-Link Mounted VPP® Suspension – VPP is based on the patented principle of having two short links rotating in opposite directions.

This redesign mounts the shock lower on the bike, making for an even better ride quality.
