The news broke a little early on this one, but the Santa Cruz Tallboy has been fully revised for 2026, and features a completely new silhouette for the 6th iteration of the platform. The move away from the typical VPP suspension layout is sure to generate debate, but there's a lot more to this bike than that one detail.
With more travel, slightly more stable geometry, and a lighter overall package, the idiosyncratic nature of the Tallboy remains, and still aims to be the short travel ripper that suits a certain type of rider.
