Short travel, long leash
130mm out back, 140mm up front, 29in wheels. The Tallboy covers ground like a cross-country bike and holds its nerve like something with a lot more travel. It is the bike for riders who want to go a long way and still come back down the fun way.

Proportional geometry
Every size rides the same
Chainstays grow with the frame, so a small and an XXL balance the same way. The bike fits the rider rather than the other way round.
The bikes
The current Tallboy runs 130mm rear, a 140mm fork and 29in wheels. Earlier model years sit at 120mm rear. Pick your build.
