Santa Cruz Bicycles Tallboy Carbon C R Mountain Bike

Speed meets confidence in the Tallboy Carbon C R, a versatile trail machine with 120mm of efficient VPP™ travel

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"The Tallboy Carbon C R is an incredible blend of efficiency and capability. It climbs fast, but when the trail points down, the VPP suspension and Fox 34 Rhythm fork make it feel like a bigger bike. Whether hammering out quick laps or riding all day, this thing rips."

For riders who want an efficient trail bike that doesn´t hold back on descents, the Tallboy Carbon C R is the perfect match. Its refined VPP suspension system delivers 120mm of efficient rear travel, paired with a Fox 34 Rhythm fork up front to smooth out technical terrain.

The Carbon C frame offers a responsive and lightweight ride, while the SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain ensures smooth and reliable shifting across a wide gear range. Maxxis Dissector and Rekon tires grip everything from loose corners to rocky descents, while RaceFace wheels and SRAM hubs keep things rolling fast. With a dialed geometry that balances speed and stability, the Tallboy Carbon C R is ready to push the limits on every trail.
