If you’re not riding enduro you’re not riding, right? Well, wrong. Santa Cruz’s 2017 Tallboy Carbon CC 29 X01 Complete Mountain Bike ain’t long and low, but it’s been tweaked to push the limits of what an XC bike can do, and it’s as capable chugging down rugged terrain as it is slicing techy climbs into ribbons.


So what’s changed from previous Tallboys? A bunch, but the changes are mostly small. The head tube has been slacked out by around two degrees, the chainstays have been shortened, and the reach has been extended, allowing you to sit a little deeper in the cockpit for a ride that’s more “in” the bike than “on” it. Santa Cruz also redesigned its Flip Chip technology, so you can switch between 29in and 27.5+ wheels without any change in geometry whatsoever, so you can easily opt for speed or plushness depending on the day’s agenda.


Geometry aside, the new Tallboy floats on an updated VPP suspension, which allows more ground clearance, a lower standover height, and a stiffer feel. The shock tuning has been improved, too, so you can get every ounce of speed, precision, and traction out of the top-end CC carbon frame—the Tallboy’s still meant to be a rocket of an XC bike, after all.
