Size Chart

Santa Cruz | Mountain

Size	Rider height (in)	Rider height (cm)
Small	5'1" - 5'5"	154cm - 165cm
Medium	5'5" - 5'9"	165cm - 175cm
Large	5'9" - 6'1"	175cm - 185cm
X-Large	6'1" - 6'4"	185cm - 193cm
XX-Large	6'4" - 6'7"	193cm - 200cm

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

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.

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.
