Overview

About this bike

Light enough to scorch hot laps and tough enough to endure a long-distance beating, the Blur does it all without compromise. No matter how demanding your next XC endeavor, the Blur is ready to go full gas, 24/7. At just 2060g this is Santa Cruz's lightest ever 100mm full suspension frame. The ultra-efficient VPP suspension design, complemented by a dual remote lockout and super stiff carbon frame, means you’ve got rocket-like acceleration on demand. The one-piece carbon VPP rear triangle shares a similar twin upright architecture to Santa Cruz's World Cup-winning downhill bikes. Paired with a one-piece carbon front end it delivers lateral stiffness and tracking ability you just don’t see on featherweight bikes of this genre. The Blur Carbon CC XTR build makes no compromises when it comes to all-out performance. Shimano's new XTR 1x12 drivetrain and XTR brakes supply ma massive gear range and incredible braking control, while the lightened Fox 34 Factory fork and Float Factory shock ensure no amount of energy is wasted as you hammer toward the finish. Santa Cruz's own Reserve Carbon wheels paired to DT Swiss 240 hubs are wrapped in Maxxis Aspen tires for serious acceleration and confident tracking, and an SCB XC Carbon Flat bar and Syntace LiteForce stem put the finishing touch on responsive control. Confidence-inspiring geometry and components worth their salt allow you to take those sketchy overtaking lines that are the difference between getting on the podium or ‘winning’ the wooden spoon.
