140mm 29er Evil the Offering addresses past issues, and also adds more reach to each frame size so you no longer need to upsize to get a good fit.
The BMW M5 (Evil Offering) isn't a one trick pony like, say, the Audi R8 (Yeti SB 130). It's comfortable and sophisticated, but also fast and menacing.
Our reviewer Mick Kirkman rated the Santa Cruz Tallboy as "fast and responsive and perfectly balances never sapping your energy with not sapping your thrills.".
The Tallboy 5 is Santa Cruz's 120mm rear/130mm front travel trail machine that aims to prove one bike really can do it all.
