Bike Check Review - Custom Santa Cruz V4 Tallboy

This is my brand new Tallboy V4 that was custom painted by BizMod Bikes. In this video I go through the build and my initial impressions of the bike.

Rob bought a 29er? It's a new day out there, I thought this would never happen. Congrats Rob, that paint job is outstanding!

Tallboy is the best bike I’ve ever ridden. Enjoy and congrats, the things a dream.

[CobraKyle]

Congrats Robert! I'm all for shorter travel bikes!

Congrats on the new bike... looks amazing! I've been going back and forth between the Tallboy and Hightower to replace my Chameleon C. Finally pulled the trigger on the Hightower and completed the build last week...Amazing bike! I also use the RevGrips on the soft setting. I occasionally test a different grip for a weekend but always go back to the RevGrips! Enjoy the new ride!

Damn the new tallboy looks insane with that paint job!!! And I was a huge fan of the Bronson gray color with purple accents, sick looking bike!

Congrats on the sweet looking Tallboy 4! Haven’t ridden a whole lot this year due work assignments! Hope to see ya on the local trails!

Thanks for the video. I'm looking at a tallboy as well. I have a 5010 and megatower now. But looking at getting a new tallboy and the new Bronson. I'd love a heckler but since I'm fat I feel I need to get my ass back in shape. Thanks again bro.

The short travel 29ers are awesome. I have a Salsa Spearfish Carbon short travel 29er and its the best. Enjoy your new bike.

[BlackPenquinn]

Congrats!! I ride an Ibis Ripmo and just picked up their new short travel bike the Exie. First ride will be tomorrow

[crjmoto]

2nd time demo'ing a 29'er today (Ripmo) and it's a trip going up in wheel size. Not as nimble but so confidence inspiring in the tech and chunk. Want to ride a Santa Cruz or two next (inc. MX/ mullet!)

Had the TB v4 and sold it to switch to a Nukeproof Reactor..just for the improved dh capabilities. The TB is a great bike!

[diegovillacrez]

Proud of you for going with a Large instead of an XL

[andrey_M]

Gotta grab that cascade components link now! Bring the rear end more progressive and more travel to match that fork!

[OG_SQUID_MTB]

Great Lookn TB. Pair the diamond with a topaz and a cascade link

Badass rig. Nice parts added. I like odi grips to the ruffians they make. And tires I use maxis and Michelin. I still don't have a dropper post on any of my bikes. ...I was a guy who never rode with a high post I'm a guy who's mostly off the saddle in a trail. Meaning on certain trails. Riding local yes I could use a dropper. Maybe wife will surprise me.

I have almost same build but running a 140MM Fox 34 upfront. Got my custom P321/Spank Oozy wheels built from Dave's Speed Dream. My only gripe is that it seems to take longer to dial in a Santa Cruz suspension but there is a pot of Gold waiting if you get there. Yours is badass looking.

Looks awesome! You can’t go wrong with SC Mtn bikes.
I just laced up Stan’s Baron CB7 rims to my Hadley’s. I have the SS specific hubs for my SS bikes so that’s what’s laced to these hoops. I love the CushCore XC and they work great, I’ve used them for a while and wouldn’t go without them. I also use Rimpact inserts, usually in front. I little more spongy and add a lot of dampened effects to my rigid SS.

Wow! Such a rad bike Robert! Congratulations! 🍻
