The shop's feature list
- Tallboy 5 C | S 2023 | Cross Country Bike Das Tallboy C S der Kalifornier aus Santa Cruz erfüllt alle Ansprüche für XC und Trail – und darum passt das Short-Travel-Bike in keine gewöhnlichen Bike-Kategorien. Die aggressive und besondere Geometrie des hochwertigen Carbon-Rahmens lässt sich per Flip-Chip an die eigenen Vorlieben anpassen. Das hervorragende FOX Float Performance Fahrwerk und die SRAM GX Eagle Schaltung unterstützen dich tatkräftig bei all deinen Abenteuern. Das Tallboy hat sich eine treue Fangemeinde aufgebaut. Es ist der perfekte Begleiter für die schnelle "Power Hour“ und für lange Tage auf der Jagd nach den besten Trails. Der ausgefeilte VPP™-Hinterbau kombiniert Effizienz mit Performance. Ein XC-Bike für Downhiller oder auch ein Downhill-Bike für XC-Fahrer. Mit einem starken Lower-Link-VPP-Hinterbau, sportlichem Design, Santa-Cruz-typischer Verarbeitung und einer eher radikalen Geometrie befindet sich das Tallboy wieder auf dem Weg, die Grenzen von Bikekategorien zu überwinden.
