XX Eagle Transmission AXS headlines the Tallboy Limited Edition build
Santa Cruz built the Tallboy XX FA Limited Edition around SRAM's wireless XX SL Eagle Transmission AXS, complete with the integrated Quarq power meter crank for live output data mid-ride. Chris King's 50th Anniversary hub and headset build pairs with a Lavender Luster paint code that doesn't appear anywhere else in the lineup. North American allocation runs to roughly 40 units, so this spec sheet won't sit on the page long.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"Flight Attendant reads compression events at the wheel and firms up the fork before I hit square-edge chatter, not after. That's a different kind of tuning than a manual lockout lever gives me, because it's adjusting mid-run without me touching anything."
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 Gearhead® Experts are always here to help.

Tallboy Limited Edition
The Rarest Tallboy Yet
A collector's build, finished down to the last detail.
What Sets It Apart
Flight Attendant Suspension
RockShox Flight Attendant reads the trail and adjusts the 140mm fork and 130mm shock in real time. That means the rider always has the correct suspension setup without reaching for a lever.
XX SL Transmission
SRAM's XX SL Transmission, their lightest Eagle drivetrain, shifts wirelessly and stays precise even under full pedaling load. A built-in power meter tracks output on every ride, so training data comes standard, not as an add-on.
Chris King 50th Hubs
This build pairs Chris King's 50th anniversary hubs and headset with Santa Cruz's own Reserve 30 SL Carbon rims. It's the kind of hub upgrade riders usually buy aftermarket, already built into this one from the start.
One-Of-A-Kind Finish
Lavender Luster paint colors the frame, and gold-accented Chris King hubs and SRAM Maven brakes carry the theme through the build. It's a color story that will not repeat on any other Tallboy.
New VPfree Suspension
After testing 15 link iterations, Santa Cruz landed on the new four-bar platform that pedals better and descends harder than any previous Tallboy. It tracks better through rough terrain on the way up, and stays planted and controlled on the way down.
Rebuilt For More Travel
Updated geometry balances a slacker head tube angle for stability on descents with a steeper seat tube angle for power on climbs. More travel, no efficiency penalty.
Terrain Tuned Flip Chip
Two geometry settings give riders precise control over how the Tallboy feels on trail. High keeps the bike efficient on long climbs, low adds stability for technical descents.
Glovebox V2
In-frame storage keeps trail essentials accessible without adding bulk outside the frame. An improved latch and longer downtube mean more capacity and a rattle-free ride.
