Product Details
The Santa Cruz Blur is made for trails, whether you're racing for podiums or hammering into the sunrise. This platform delivers everything needed for the top step, and the rest is up to you. By bumping up travel, updating geometry, and tweaking suspension kinematics to encourage you to obliterate the boundaries of traditional XC racing, the Blur bridges the gap between a true race bike and a capable short-travel trail bike that excels Monday through Sunday.
The Blur delivers 120mm of travel front and rear, an increase from the previous generation's 110mm, with zero weight penalty. A more progressive leverage curve reduces pedal bob while adding mid-stroke support, so climbing efficiency and descending confidence both improve. The geometry tells the story of a modern XC platform: a 66-degree head angle, 75-degree seat tube angle, and extended reach of 475mm on a large create a longer, more stable ride feel. Geometry scales proportionally across every frame size for consistent handling from Small to Extra Large, ensuring every rider experiences the same responsive, composed character.
Santa Cruz's premium CC carbon layup forms the foundation, offering the lightest, best carbon across all builds with a lifetime warranty and no rider weight limit. Full-length internal cable routing keeps everything clean and silent, while thoughtful integration includes a glovebox frame storage for tools and essentials, top tube accessory mounts for instant access, dual bottle mounts, and an integrated chain guide with downtube protector.
