Expirience with the Santa Cruz Tallboy X0 AXS | Carbon CC

Santa Cruz Tallboy X0 AXS | Carbon CC Review Admittedly, with 130 mm travel, the Tallboy X0 AXS 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 seating position can be described neither as sporty nor as comfortable. It has a moderate character. On the downhill, however, the Tallboy X0 AXS is left in the dust by its competitors. For this, the shifting components are pretty much the best thing you can expect on a complete bike for 8799 Euro . The guarantee of 25 years proves that Santa Cruz is behind its products.
