The giant of the trails.

You can’t fix perfection, which is why the 2015 version of the Santa Cruz Tallboy LT Carbon Frame is unchanged from the previous year’s model, with the exception of new color. This bike is the ideal all-day enduro bike with enough oomph to ride the trickiest trails.


Santa Cruz uses two technologies that combine to create this trail monster, VPP suspension and a lightweight carbon frame. The latter is built so that the front and rear triangles are each molded as singular pieces rather than as multiple parts requiring joints. Additionally, the pieces are subjected to pressure from the inside as well as the outside during the molding process. This not only maximizes the compaction of the fibers for increased strength, it also removes excess resin, which lightens the frame. The VPP suspension, which effectively is the mechanical "joint" between the front and rear triangles, is a system featuring dual pivots. While the upper pivot rotates as the bike descends toward the sag, or lowest point during compression, the bottom pivot moves the rear axle backward to better absorb impact as well as avoid high trail debris. It features the FOX FLOAT CTD adjustable rear shock. The frame is finished with mechanic-friendly, oversized 15mm collet-style hardware and a 12x142mm thru-axle out back.


The LT has a 69.5 degree head angle that, when paired with the 29-inch wheels, gives you confidence-inspiring handling. If you add a travel-adjusted fork, you are able to drop it and steepen the head angle by a degree for additional control during climbs. The seat angle is 72.6 degrees for maximum power transfer, which is also aided by the 17.7-inch chainstays. Because Santa Cruz didn’t want to build a bike with compromised handling, you’ll notice that the smallest size the Tallboy LT comes in is a medium. Any smaller of a frame would greatly reduce top-tube clearance and make it difficult to handle.
