Admittedly, with 130 mm travel, the Tallboy R / Carbon C / 29 is always somewhat overshadowed by the more downhill-heavy bikes from Santa Cruz. Unjustifiably so, in our opinion. With a flat 65,5 Grad head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The view of the geometry data clearly reveals: the Santa Cruz Tallboy R / Carbon C / 29 has a sporty seating position. The Carbon frame is quite a good one. The Fully-chassis makes a very nice impression. Considering that in the 5399 Euro_de range, hardly any other manufacturer makes a better bike for the same specs of wheels. Nice! With 25 years warranty, nothing stands in the way of a long-term relationship. Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs normal.
