Expirience with the Santa Cruz TALLBOY X01 / 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. You have no idea if you prefer high speed stability or playful handling? Then you can´t go wrong with the Trailbike of Santa Cruz. It´s handling is pleasantly balanced. At the seating position, Santa Cruz combines the best of two worlds: It´s balanced character is a good mix of sporty efficiency and a comfortable upright postiion. On climbs, the Trailbike of Santa Cruz lets you sweat. Other bikes 7799 Euro climb better. All in all, in the tours on lower mountains category, you will hardly find a better overall package from parts and geometry. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Santa Cruz sets the bar high!
