Ride character of the Santa Cruz Tallboy 29 2020

In size L, the Santa Cruz Tallboy 29 2020 pairs short 430 mm chainstays that make it eager to manual, pop off lips and snap through tight corners; a 65.7° head angle that splits the difference between descending calm and quick steering; a moderate 470 mm reach; a low-slung bottom bracket (~38 mm drop) that corners with confidence (mind pedal strikes).

Those numbers describe how it steers and sits. How the suspension actually feels, small-bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support and bottom-out ramp, comes down to its leverage and anti-squat curves: see our MTB suspension kinematics guide, and put its geometry head-to-head with any other bike in the geometry comparison tool.
