2013 Tallboy LT: Aluminum 29er Bikes

The Tallboy LT model is equipped with 135mm rear travel and is designed the same as the LTc brother with having 130mm to 150mm front fork options in mind. The head tube angle was slacked out from the Tallboy by 1.5 degrees and the seat tube was slackened by a 1/2 degree from where the original Tallboy’s are. This will definitely put the Tallboy LT models in the All Mountain platform or category of 29er mountain bikes.

Some classic aluminum 29er mtb features like hydro-formed top and down tubes, tapered head tube, 142 X 12mm rear through axle. Except Santa Cruz has elected to stick with a traditional standard threaded bottom bracket for both models of the LT 29er bikes. Here is what they had to say, “we think this is still the best, most user friendly, widely compatible, globally serviceable way to install a bottom bracket.”

By Santa Cruz changing the lower link making it offset it has opened up for better clearance for bigger twenty niner all-mountain rear tires that become available. The chain stays are just at 17.9 inches in length. They have recessed the grease ports for the lower link to protect them underneath the frame. The pivot axles have collet style hardware and the frames have continuous cable housing mounts for dropper seat posts. The new models of 29er mountain bikes also have ISCG05 tab mounts.
