Our review

Go hard. The Tallboy is harder. The Tallboy has gone on a diet and bulked up on travel to fit the kind of rider looking to maximize power hours or just ride all the hours. The Tallboy has always been fun and capable, but it was time "light" rejoined the mix. The Tallboy has long been a favorite for riders that love to taste blood and get their rocks off. But how it rode changed a lot over the years. For the sixth gen, the priority was handling confidence while keeping it zippy. FEATURES: Weight Loss: 300g+ (0.6lb) Frame weight reduction 29" Wheels: Speed, stability, carving. Suspension Travel: 10mm more travel than the Tallboy five with 130mm rear 140mm front travel Geo Flip Chip: Raises/lowers BB and adjusts headtube angle. Hi for pedaling, Lo for sending. Glovebox V2: Improved ease of access, frame contact, and latch engagement. Longer, straighter down tube for improved storage. Proportional Geometry: Proportional geo and stiffness for every size to make sure everyone gets the same ride quality. Seatpost: Uninterrupted seatpost insertion means all sizes of riders get the drop they need. All bikes get cable routing. Guide + Protector: Integrated chain guide and lightweight stick-on down tube protector. Accessory Mounts: Top tube accessory mounts for extra CYA essentials. Made to Outlast: Lifetime warranty, bearings for life, built tough. Easy to work on, easy to find parts for, built to last.
