Expirience with the Santa Cruz TALLBOY X01 / AXS / RSV / CC / 29

Ludwig Döhl With the TALLBOY D, Santa Cruz has a classic in its product line. Like many American bikes, the trail bike also has the combination of a low-lying shock absorber and a VPP rear triangle. This ensures calm in the rear even through rougher terrain. The moderate 65,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. Anyone who has no special preferences for the seating position can´t go wrong with the Trailbike of Santa Cruz. Because the saddle takes the balanced approach. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Trailbike of Santa Cruz is probably not the right bike for you. For friends of sending it on rowdy trails: the last argument is still the strongest, because the harmonious geometry and the grippy tires cause you to smile from top to bottom in the descent. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Santa Cruz is behind its products.
