I picked up the new Tallboy (alloy) tossed on a new 2021 Fox piggy back and did a helm 130/i9/XTR full build. It is not nearly the bike it is replacing, a mkII Evil The Folllowing (aka MB). I’m disappointed in the Tallboy not holding a flame to the Evil... the Spur and the Evil mkIII are both likely replacements later this year. But totally underwhelmed by the Santa Cruz, mediocre vs the Evil and even though massively different than my Fugitive LT, still just disappointing. Skip the Tallboy.
