Santa Cruz hit it out of the park with the Tallboy 29er, so how does one improve upon a hit? Make it long travel with a slightly slacker head tube.
The Tallboy LTc offers a plush and somewhat predictable ride. The slightly laid back head tube angle puts to rest the twitchiness that can sometimes be felt on other 29ers when pushing it hard. The downside is that it feels slightly sluggish in the turns for those who are used to a true cross country 29er. But it was not made for the weight wienee cross country riders… it is for the all mountain riders wanting a plush ride for all day excursions.
