2013 Santa Cruz Tallboy LT Carbon

 
The 2013 Santa Cruz Tallboy LT Carbon combines the rolling efficiency of 29" wheels with 135mm of VPP travel, all in a super lightweight frame, weighing in at just 5.35 lbs with shock. Santa Cuz put a lot of emphasis on the suspension performance and ride characteristics of their VPP suspension design, with tuneability of shock rates for individual designs, and superb pedaling and bump absorption characteristics. For 2013, they've added a tapered head tube up front and a 142x12mm rear axle out back. A few other nice features are an ISCG05 mount and cable routing for a dropper seatpost.

2013 Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon

 
The 2013 Santa Cruz Nomad Carbon walks the line between an all-mountain trail bike and gravity shredder. It's designed to go uphill just as well as it goes down. Santa Cruz revamped the Nomad Carbon for 2013 with the addition of a 142 x 12mm rear axle, which compliments the VPP suspension and keeps the rear wheel center over any type of terrain you will throw at it. The beautiful carbon frame has a noticeably different look than its aluminum predecessor. This carbon version is beefed up and smoothed out in all the right places, with substantially fatter chainstays and a 1.5" headtube, dismissing any doubts about whether a carbon all-mountain frame is strong enough.

Like other carbon bikes from Santa Cruz, the Nomad Carbon features their VPP suspension with greaseports that make the ride smoother, quieter, and worry free. The trick grease ports make servicing the rear suspension very easy when the time finally comes. You will also notice an integrated carbon chainwrap that provides extra protection on the chainstays, and a replaceable derailleur hanger just in case!

If you can only buy one AM rig, and you trend more towards DH-type riding, then the Rocky Mountain Slayer 30 is the bike for you.

Using creative design features such as a light, strong, integrated rocker pivot, 2 piece bottom bracket shell and using an e-type derailleur that bolts onto the swing arm, the designers at Rocky Mountain were able to create a truly ALL mountain bike that was light and efficient, while staying true to Rocky’s DH heritage.
