For the latest generation of the Tallboy, it's clear that the updates Santa Cruz wanted to make aren't primarily in the geometry but rather in frame features and suspension feel.
Fezzari has updated the full suspension, carbon fiber Signal Peak mountain bike and now offers two distinct XC and trail models. Complete builds are priced starting at $3,800.
The YT Izzo Uncaged dials down the suspension travel and sports top-notch parts, making it the brand's most XC-friendly and lightest weight mountain bike yet.
The Trek Top Fuel sees a slacker HTA, steeper STA, and improved anti-squat. This time around, even the alloy models get a get a snack-stash in the down tube.
Canyon is giving its race-bred Lux XC bike a little more punch with a Lux Trail edition, adding more travel and slacker geometry with a bigger fork and a new front triangle.
