Santa Cruz Tallboy V4 Carbon CC | frame kit 2023
If there’s an XC bike for downhillers, …
The new 120mm Tallboy makes big leaps again for a short-travel bike. With a strong lower-link VPP rear triangle, sporty design, Santa Cruz-typical workmanship and a rather radical geometry, the Tallboy is once again on the way to overcoming the boundaries of bike categories.
A bike that only knows full throttle and is always ready to sprint – whether uphill, downhill or on flat flow trails. The maximum efficiency of the VPP rear triangle makes for a pleasantly fast and light-footed ride. Technically, it is built on the same platform as our Longtravel bikes and therefore feels at home not only on classic XC terrain, but also on “real” trails. Paired with a 130mm fork, the new Tallboy is also becoming increasingly attractive for aggressive bikers. VPP™ Suspension
The VPP™ system can be optimized for each bike so that the right balance between drive efficiency and rear triangle performance is always achieved. The Nomad is designed to confidently smooth out the hardest hits to glide through the roughest terrain with complete confidence. And since it still pedals very efficiently, the climb to the longest trails is not a chore, but a proven means to an end. The short, stable rocker arms on the VPP™ system enable a very compact, robust and rigid frame construction. For maximum ease of maintenance and durability, the rear bearings in the aluminum rockers are mounted on large axles. Grease nipples make maintenance easier. The legendary Santa Cruz guarantee
Santa Cruz bikes are built to be robust and durable. We trust their durability and back it up with our legendary support and warranty at the highest level.
Santa Cruz Tallboy V5 Details
- 120mm travel: A single-crown bike with the travel you need for the steepest and rockiest trails.
- Size-dependent geometry: The Nomad’s chainstay lengths grow with the frame size, and the seat tube angle gets steeper.
This means that every rider – regardless of size – gets the same balanced geometry and perfect driving characteristics. - Size-dependent frame stiffness: Taller riders cause higher loads.
That’s why we adjust the stiffness for each frame size to ensure that every rider gets the same ride quality. - Small details with a big effectFine frame details are the small mudguard for the shock, the tidy and easy-care cable routing in the main frame and rear end, as well as rubberized frame protectors.
The right frame size
If you’re between two frame sizes, we recommend that you test both options. As a guide, you can compare the reach and stack values with your current bike or other well-known bikes that you feel comfortable on. If a test drive is not possible, you can also use the following tips as a guide:
- With a larger frame, you have more stability and sovereignty.
You also get more freedom of movement in the bike, with less influence on balance.
With the larger frame, you have a slightly longer wheelbase, which provides additional safety and stability.
Therefore, it takes more physical effort and a slightly more active riding style to guide the bike.
Smaller bikes ride more agilely and react faster to the rider’s input. - Even with the same height, every person looks different.
If you have a relatively short torso and long legs, we would recommend the smaller frame size.
If you have a long torso and long arms, you should rather go for the larger frame.
