The 2013 Tallboy Carbon Combines the acclaimed performance and durability of the latest VPP suspension, with a sophisticated carbon fiber chassis and a set of big 29” wheels. For 2013, Santa Cruz revamped the carbon Tallboy with the addition of a 142 x 12mm rear axle, which compliments the VPP suspension and keeps the rear wheel center, hit after hit. Featuring the latest VPP suspension and a sophisticated carbon fiber chassis, the Santa Cruz Tallboy 29" carbon frame is designed to be insanely flex-free and fun handling. The curvaceous carbon fiber frame offers amazing stiffness and strength while keeping a feathery-light weight of 5 lbs. 6 oz. (size Medium). The Tallboy was designed to use a 100-120mm fork, and with 100mm of rear travel, this 29er delivers clean, neutral pedaling without bob or feedback, and plush, bump-eating suspension across the board.

Some of the frames ultra-trick features include:
- VPP suspension with greaseports make the ride smoother, quieter, and worry free in every way possible. The trick grease ports make servicing the rear suspension very easy when the time finally comes. These rear suspension features make the Tallboy carbon frame easy to maintain and very durable. A grease gun and grease is even included with each frame/bike!
- integrated chainwrap to provide extra protection on the chainstays, as well as a replaceable derailleur hanger just in case!
- a patented counter-rotating link design allows flexibility to design and manipulate shock rates for a huge diversity of uses, from razor sharp XC performance to bomber tough and ultra plush 10-inch travel downhill duty.
