Product Details
The Santa Cruz Blur is engineered for riders who race hard and ride harder. Built for trails where you're either sprinting for podiums or hammering into the sunrise, this machine delivers a platform capable of top-step performance. By increasing travel, updating the geometry, and refining the suspension kinematics, the Blur pushes beyond the limits of a traditional cross-country bike while remaining a lightweight and exceptionally capable short-travel trail machine for every ride between race days.
With 120mm of front and rear suspension travel, the latest Blur gains extra capability without adding weight. A more progressive leverage curve minimizes pedal bob while improving mid-stroke support, creating a bike that climbs efficiently and descends with greater confidence. Modern XC geometry includes a 66-degree head tube angle, a 75-degree seat tube angle, and longer reach measurements that deliver stable, predictable handling across every frame size.
The premium CC carbon frame combines low weight, impressive stiffness, and outstanding durability. Full internal cable routing keeps the bike clean and quiet, while integrated frame storage, top tube accessory mounts, dual bottle mounts, and a built-in chain guide with downtube protection make it as practical as it is race-ready. Backed by Santa Cruz's lifetime frame warranty, the Blur is built for years of hard riding.
This build features a FOX 34 SL Float Performance fork with 120mm of travel and a FOX Float SL Performance rear shock, both equipped with remote lockouts for maximum climbing efficiency. SRAM's 90 Eagle T-Type mechanical 12-speed drivetrain provides crisp, dependable shifting, while SRAM DB8 hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful braking in all conditions. RaceFace AR Offset 27 rims paired with DT Swiss 370 hubs and fast-rolling Maxxis Rekon Race tires complete a lightweight wheelset designed for speed on modern XC courses.
