THE DOWNHILLER’S XC BIKE

The Tallboy has earned a loyal following among those who seek a go-to bike that can withstand the relentless hammering of power hour rides or all-day adventures. The highly refined VPP™ suspension combines pedaling efficiency with impressive bump-chomping prowess. If there’s ever been a gravity rider’s XC bike, the Tallboy is it.

TIME MACHINE

ALL-THE-HOURS AND POWER HOURS

With kick-ass lower-link VPP™ suspension, a streamlined design, and pitch-perfect geometry, the Tallboy is a time-maximizing machine. Sharing the same made-to-last engineering principles as our longest-travel bikes, it feels equally at home on cross-country rides and tackling extreme terrain across the countryside.

MILLIMETERS MATTER

GO HARD, THE TALLBOY IS HARDER

Some call 120mm “short travel,” while others see it as all the travel you'll need. The Tallboy is an efficient XC pedaler, featuring geometry and a shock tune that make it far more capable than those millimeters suggest.
