We’re excited to announce that we have added the new fifth-generation Santa Cruz Tallboy to our test fleet. This bike will be an excellent platform for testing new high-end products and playing around with different setups.
But what sets this latest iteration of the Tallboy apart from its predecessors, and why is it so pricey? In our earlier introduction, we delved into the finer details of the frame, explored its unique features, and highlighted what’s new and why it’s so darned expensive.

Before we begin experimenting with the bike’s setup, we’re sharing some juicy images of its initial build; this rig ain’t camera-shy! Stay tuned for more, where we’ll share our thoughts on how it performs on the trails.
