Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 CC X0 AXS Reserve

The Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 CC X0 AXS Reserve redefines trail capability, merging the agility of a cross-country bike with the toughness of a trail machine. Designed with Santa Cruz’s signature VPP suspension system, the Tallboy’s 120mm rear travel shines on technical climbs and swift descents alike, making it the ultimate all-rounder for riders who want performance without compromise. Matched with a 130mm FOX 34 front fork, this bike easily handles unpredictable trails, offering a smooth and controlled ride from local loops to challenging backcountry terrain.

The Carbon CC frame brings lightweight strength and durability into the mix, giving the Tallboy exceptional uphill efficiency and downhill stability. The bike’s geometry is carefully engineered to maintain confidence through a variety of conditions, combining a slacker head angle with a refined reach for a perfect balance of control and quick handling. The Tallboy’s 29-inch wheels enhance stability and traction, helping it power through fast flow sections as well as rough, rock-strewn paths with steady precision and minimal effort.

The Santa Cruz Tallboy isn’t just about pure capability; it’s crafted for the kind of adventurous, high-energy rides that push limits. With components like the SRAM AXS Transmission wireless drivetrain and Reserve carbon wheels, riders experience seamless control and resilience at every touchpoint. Details like the ergonomic handlebars and durable dropper post enhance the overall comfort and control, allowing riders to stay focused on the trail. Each element of the Tallboy’s design prioritizes rider confidence and adaptability, making it a true partner on epic, long-haul rides.

For riders seeking a trail bike that blends endurance, thrill, and adaptability, the Santa Cruz Tallboy 5 stands out as a top-tier choice. It’s more than a bike; it’s an invitation to explore, test boundaries, and embrace the journey on any trail.
