Product Details
The Santa Cruz Blur is made for trails, whether you're racing for podiums or hammering into the sunrise. Built with modern XC geometry and refined suspension kinematics, this machine bridges the gap between a true race bike and a capable short-travel trail bike, delivering a platform where the suspension, geometry, and chassis combine to provide the performance you need, the rest is up to you. Whether you're sprinting out of the gate or out of a corner, aiming for the horizon or the apex, the Blur injects some 'oh, hell yeah!' into every ride, Monday through Sunday.
The Blur delivers 120mm of travel front and rear, a bump from the previous generation's 110mm. Updated suspension kinematics feature a more progressive leverage curve that reduces pedal bob and adds mid-stroke support, so climbing efficiency and descending confidence both improve simultaneously. The result is a platform that encourages you to obliterate the boundaries of what a traditional XC bike can do, right at home sprinting for the hole shot yet equally capable as a lightweight trail bike for the days between races.
Modern geometry engineered for longer, more stable riding features a 66-degree head angle, 75-degree seat tube angle, and extended reach to 475mm on a large, that scales proportionally across every frame size for consistent handling from Small to Extra Large. This refined geometry works seamlessly with the suspension to deliver responsive handling through technical terrain while maintaining the composure needed for sustained high-speed efforts.
Built with Santa Cruz's premium CC carbon layup, the Blur features a lifetime warranty with no rider weight limit. Thoughtful integration details include full-length internal cable routing for silent, hassle-free operation, updated frame storage for tools and essentials, top tube accessory mounts, dual bottle mounts, and an integrated chain guide with downtube protector for trail durability.
Fox Float SL Factory suspension front and rear with 120mm of travel offers refined performance and trail-ready control. The Fox 34 SL Float Factory fork with Grip X damping delivers responsive handling, while SRAM X0 Eagle AXS 12-speed drivetrain with Motive Silver brakes provides electronic shifting precision and powerful stopping power. Reserve 28/XC carbon rims with DT Swiss 350 hubs deliver lightweight, reliable performance across varied terrain.
