Tallboy Aluminum RP23 Frame - The award winning Tallboy frame now available in aluminum and a lower price point.

Tallboys have become mighty popular bikes in the relatively short time since Santa Cruz introduced them, and they have been getting rave reviews from the press and, more importantly, from the thousands of riders who’ve rolled off into the sunset aboard them. The pairing of VPP suspension and 29” wheels created a fast rolling, crisp handling, versatile bike that exploits the benefits of big wheels to the best of their advantage, at home anywhere from remote alpine singletrack to crowded jittery start lines. Now the tall can is available in aluminum – same geometry, same lines, same great suspension, teeny bit more weight, whole lot less money.

The VPP design places pivots so that the pedaling forces hold the suspension in one position, partway into the travel. The trick is to manipulate the VPP design by specifically locating the pivot points so the effects of pedaling forces are strong enough to hold the suspension in a neutral position but not so strong as to hold it there when the bike encounters a bump. Santa Cruz has done an excellent job the last 8 years of refining the design and has created a perfect balance with the Tallboy's suspension configuration. The result: The bike pedals completely bob-free, and offers wonderfully plush travel when things get rough.
