Mike's Bikes

The bike that refuses to compromise is finally here. Meet the all-new Santa Cruz Tallboy 6 ✨

We’ve always loved the Tallboy for its ability to make local loops feel like epic adventures, but this new iteration takes it to a whole new level. Santa Cruz refined the geometry to give you more confidence on the descents without losing that signature, urgent climbing efficiency we all love.

Whether you’re aiming for a new personal best on your favorite climb or looking for a bike that handles weekend epics with ease, the Tallboy 6 is ready for the ride.

Features we are stoked about:

Refined 140/130mm Travel: Just the right amount of squish for more capability and confidence.

Glovebox V2: In-frame storage so you can pack your flat repair kit, tools, or snacks without cluttering your frame.

CC Carbon for All: Lighter frame weight means more control and less fatigue on long days out.

The Tallboy 6 has officially rolled into all Mike’s Bikes locations. Hit the link in our bio to check out the builds, or swing by your local shop to see it in person!

Anyone who has spent time on the Santa Cruz Vala knows it’s all about the ride feel and that seamless, natural boost that just makes you want to stay out for one more lap (but we never say "one more" 🤫).

Now, with 3 distinct builds to choose from, finding your perfect match is easier than ever. Whether you're looking for a nimble, light setup, the ultimate all-around trail partner, or a more accessible entry into the eMTB world, there’s a Vala for you. All 3 offer the same incredible capability, each tailored to how you want to experience the trails.

The new Vala lineup is at Mike’s Bikes now. Hit the link in our bio to find your fit, or swing by the shop to chat with the crew!

Introducing the all-new Nomad from !

The Nomad has always been the bike you choose when you refuse to compromise on the descent. It’s a natural fit for aggressive trail riders, enduro riders, and anyone who prefers more travel, more control, and more confidence when the trail turns steep.

The Nomad 7 builds on a proven platform with meaningful updates to suspension performance, ride feel, and real-world usability.

Here's what we love about it:

- VPP Suspension: A redesigned VPP suspension improves pedaling efficiency while reducing harshness and improving traction under braking. The result is a smoother, more controlled ride across all types of terrain.
- Built for Big Terrain: With 170mm of travel and a mixed wheel setup, the
Nomad 7 delivers the stability, rollover, and control needed for steep descents, big hits, and fast, technical trails.
- CC Carbon for All: Every frame is now built with Santa Cruz’s premium CC
carbon construction, offering a lighter, stronger frame built to handle years
of hard riding, backed by a lifetime warranty.
