Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 CC 29 Mountain Bike Frameset

• We mimicked our longer travel geometry to create a bike with a 65.5-degree head-angle, generous front center, and short offset fork.
• 120mm of lower link-driven VPP suspension is designed to handle tough climbs and yet still take on high-speed descending.
• The reduced rolling resistance and larger footprint of 29-inch wheels inspires confidence and helps riders cover ground efficiently.
• Proportional Geometry: seat tube angle steepens and rear center grows as frame size increases.
• Glovebox: Stows all your essentials so you can ditch the pack on your lunch laps or always be ready with the fix.

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

The Tallboy is available in sizes extra small - extra extra large (XS-XXL).
