First Look: Santa Cruz Launches Tallboy 2
In case you thought it was all about 27.5″ wheels at Santa Cruz this year… the 29er strikes back! Tallboy 2 launches today. The geometry of Tallboy2 remains true
to the original. However, Santa Cruz fine-tuned the shock rate, improved pedaling efficiency, increased stiffness and reduced weight. Check out the video for the story behind:
