Expirience with the Santa Cruz Tallboy XX SL AXS RSV | Carbon CC

Santa Cruz Tallboy XX SL AXS RSV | Carbon CC Review
Ludwig Döhl
Admittedly, with 130 mm travel, the Tallboy XX SL AXS RSV is always somewhat overshadowed by the more downhill-heavy bikes from Santa Cruz. Unjustifiably so, in our opinion. The combination of a 65,5 degree head tube angle and a long wheelbase calms down the handling of the Santa Cruz Tallboy XX SL AXS RSV, even if you ride fast. When sitting in the saddle, the posture is neither overly sporty, nor uber-comfortable. This should make the Santa Cruz Tallboy XX SL AXS RSV suite the taste of most bikers. On the downhill, however, the Trailbike von Santa Cruz is left in the dust by its competitors. Santa Cruz is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
