2023 Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 CC X01 Kit

Are you the cross country mountain bike rider who enjoys things that go bump in the trail? Then the 2023 Santa Cruz Tallboy CC X01 full suspension trail mountain bike is your perfect do-it-all ride. 

When your cross country race course and training includes a hefty dose of descent with the requisite added suspension, the 2023 Santa Cruz Tallboy CC X01 pulls out all the stops to make sure you have the best ride possible. 

From the RockShox Pike Ultimate 130mm travel fork to the SRAM X01 Eagle drivetrain and on to the unstoppable Reserve carbon wheels, the 2023 Santa Cruz Tallboy CC X01 mountain bike is built to dominate virtually any trail you find. And the radical thinking doesn’t stop there. The Tallboy’s 436mm chainstays ensure that the bike stays nimble in every situation. Match that to a relatively low BB (335mm and 38mm drop) and you’ve got a combo that’s ready to haul into every pocket turn and launch out the other side.

The 120mm Tallboy takes a leap further into what short-travel bikes really are capable of. With kick-ass lower-link VPP suspension, a streamlined design, and tried and true Santa Cruz refinement, the Tallboy is back to being a genre bending folk hero. Sure, 10mm more travel might only seem like one small step—but coupled with a lower link-driven VPP suspension design this is one giant leap for the Tallboy.  

The Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 CC X01 bike will go as far as you push it, with geometry and suspension that leave classic XC bikes quivering at the top of rocky chutes and far in the rear view mirror by the halfway point.
