THE DOWNHILLER’S XC BIKE

The Tallboy has earned a loyal following among those who seek a go-to bike that can withstand the relentless hammering of power hour rides or all-day adventures. The highly refined VPP™ suspension combines pedaling efficiency with impressive bump-chomping prowess. If there’s ever been a gravity rider’s XC bike, the Tallboy is it.

TIME MACHINE — ALL-THE-HOURS AND POWER HOURS

With kick-ass lower-link VPP™ suspension, a streamlined design, and pitch-perfect geometry, the Tallboy is a time-maximizing machine. Sharing the same made-to-last engineering principles as our longest-travel bikes, it feels equally at home on cross-country rides and tackling extreme terrain across the countryside.

MILLIMETERS MATTER — GO HARD, THE TALLBOY IS HARDER

Some call 120mm “short travel,” while others see it as all the travel you'll need. The Tallboy is an efficient XC pedaler, featuring geometry and a shock tune that make it far more capable than those millimeters suggest.
