Tallboy Carbon C R Mountain Bike

What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"This bike is perfect for riders who want a trail bike that climbs efficiently but still feels fun and capable on descents. The VPP suspension keeps pedaling snappy, while the Fox 34 Rhythm fork and Maxxis tires give it the confidence to charge through rough sections."

Blending cross-country efficiency with all-mountain confidence, the Tallboy Carbon C R is the ultimate do-it-all trail machine. Its Carbon C frame delivers a stiff, responsive ride without unnecessary weight, and the VPP suspension keeps power transfer efficient while offering enough travel to smooth out technical descents.

A Fox 34 Rhythm fork up front with 130mm of travel ensures precision handling, while a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain gives us a wide 12-speed range for tackling steep climbs and fast descents. Maxxis Dissector and Rekon tires deliver traction in diverse conditions, while SRAM Guide T brakes provide confident stopping power.

With aggressive yet balanced geometry, high-end components, and a lightweight chassis, the Tallboy Carbon C R is built for riders who want to push their limits on singletrack while still having a blast on every ride.

Heads up - We do our best to keep bike specs and images current, but occasional component changes can happen without warning-and sometimes the photos might not show the exact build you'll receive. If you want to double-check the details, our Gearheads are always here to help.
