Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 C GX AXS - Matte Taupe

The XC Bike for Downhill
The Tallboy has built a loyal fan base. It is the perfect companion for the quick "Power Hour" and for long days hunting for the best trails. The sophisticated VPP™ rear suspension combines efficiency with performance. An XC bike for downhillers or a downhill bike for XC riders.

Perfectly Tuned for Every Size
Chainstay length and seat angle are adjusted to the frame size (the seat angle becomes steeper and the rear grows with increasing frame size), so that every rider, regardless of their body size, receives the same balanced geometry for the best riding behavior.
And since larger riders cause greater loads, we adjust the stiffness for each frame size. This ensures that every rider receives the same, perfect ride quality

VPP
VPP stands for Virtual Pivot Point. This name is synonymous with performance. The countless World Cup victories prove it.

120mm VPP Travel
For some, it's (too) little travel, for others, it's all they need. With 120mm, you don't dive into the roughest rock garden as carelessly as with its long-travel friends, but when it comes to making real trail meters and racing through the terrain, the Tallboy is in its element.

Quick Suspension
The Tallboy is quite progressive. Due to the low leverage ratio at the beginning of the travel, the suspension responds very well. Towards the end, it remains defined and controllable, providing a direct yet pleasant riding feel

Quick-Witted
By significantly reducing the maximum anti-squat value (compared to previous Tallboy generations), we have greatly reduced the interaction between suspension and drivetrain while significantly improving responsiveness. Since the anti-squat values correlate with the anti-rise value, we were also able to lower this and minimize the braking influences on the new Tallboy.
