With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Fully dialed at every size: Proportional Geometry and frame stiffness tune
Chainstay length and seat angle are matched to the frame size (STA steepens and rear centre grows as frame size increases) so that every rider, no matter what height, gets the same balance of geometry and handling characteristics.We tailor stiffness for every size to make sure everyone gets the same ride quality. Bigger riders means greater stresses on larger frames, but that's remedied with our size-specific frame stiffness tunes.VPPVPP stands for virtual pivot point - an engineering principal synonymous with high performance that spans from short travel platforms like the Tallboy right up to the World Cup winning V10.120mm VPP TravelSome call 120mm "short travel", others call it all the travel you need. The Tallboy is an effiecent XC pedaler with a geo and shock tune that that make it way more capable than the millimeters suggest.Snappy SuspensionThe Tallboy has a lower starting ratio and increased ending ratio of the leverage curve. This makes it really sensetive further into the travel and helps the bike ride higher in it's stroke producing a more responsive, snappy feel.Bump BusterSignificantly reducing peak bump anti-squat (over previous generations of Tallboy) has improved both small bump sensetivity and square edge compliance. Because anti-squat values trend with anti-rise, we were also able to reduce the anti-rise to improve braking performance.
GLOVEBOX: ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
Place your ride essentials securely in the Tallboy's downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to
