This ensures calm in the rear even through rougher terrain. With its geometry, the Trailbike of Santa Cruz is right in the middle between playfulness and high speed stability. The seating position does not manage to be too athletic, nor too upright. It´s moderate character is likely to suite the vast majority of bikers. On climbs, other bikes in the under 4500 Euro present a little better performance than the Santa Cruz TALLBOY D. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Santa Cruz puts a lot of trust in its products.
