Tallboy

The Tallboy is a short travel bike with long legs. Santa Cruz's perennial 29in trail bike has been on a diet and gained travel at the same time, which makes it light and efficient enough to climb with anything but far more capable than the travel figure suggests once the trail points down.

Every current build uses the Carbon CC frame with the lifetime warranty and Bearings for Life, and the RSV builds add Reserve carbon wheels. If the Hightower is more bike than your riding needs, this is usually the answer.
