When Tallboy first launched, it wiped the floor with everything in its category. Awarded “Bike of the Year” time after time, the balanced

geometry and proprietary carbon lay-up created a killer package that didn’t need meddling with for over four years. And still doesn’t.

Kind of. Geometry of the all new Tallboy remains true to the origi-nal. However, we've fine-tuned the shock rate, improved pedal-

ing efficiency, increased stiffness and reduced weight to make this Don of 29 the kind of sequel Francis Ford Coppola would approve of.
