    Summary

    Expirience with the Santa Cruz Tallboy R / Carbon C / 29

    Santa Cruz Tallboy R / Carbon C / 29 Review Admittedly, with 130 mm travel, the Tallboy R is always somewhat overshadowed by the more downhill-heavy bikes from Santa Cruz. Unjustifiably so, in our opinion. With a flat 65,5 degree head tube angle and a long reach, the geometry corresponds to the current trend. The balanced seating position is likely to suite the taste of the majority of bikers. On climbs, the Santa Cruz lets you sweat. Other bikes 5399 Euro climb better. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
