Dive deep into the geo chart, analyze the anti-squat, run some simulations on your machine-learning Mandelbrot fractalbot, you'll come to the same conclusion as the bike fiend dingdongs who just throw a leg over and go pedal it for 20 minutes: the Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy 5 CC X0 AXS Complete Mountain Bike is one of the best XC bikes known to fun-focused humankind. Not only has Santa Cruz laced it with the same suspension as their bigger bikes, but they've added their Glovebox™ frame storage and the incredible SRAM Eagle AXS Transmission, a revolutionary new design which ditches your trusty derailleur hanger to mount directly to the frame. Engineered for maximum durability, the new derailleur shifts better under load and features a modular, servicable design for easier repairs. This bike is certified bananas.
Carbon CC Frame – Santa Cruz's highest level of carbon fiber frame construction, CC carbon is not only extremely lightweight and strong, but it comes with a lifetime warranty. The durability, feel, and performance of carbon is unmatched in the mountain bike world, and Santa Cruz are at the top of the game.
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!
Proportional Chainstay Lengths – With rear ends that match the size range, this bike's geo and ride quality is the same for all riders.
