Admittedly, with 130 mm travel, the Tallboy X01 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. For all of those who love a good incline, the moderate seating position of the on moderate to demanding trails should be considered pleasant. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. Another strong argument needs to be mentioned: the coherent geometry and the grippy tires will make you smile all the way to the bottom of the descent. The guarantee promise of 25 years ensures trust.
