Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC XX AXS FA Race RSV

The Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC XX AXS FA Race RSV is a race-bred cross country mountain bike designed for riders who want the speed of a pure XC machine with the capability to push beyond traditional race course boundaries. Built for everything from sprinting for the holeshot to chasing fast lines through technical terrain, the latest Blur combines increased travel, refined geometry, and advanced suspension performance to create a lightweight platform that delivers speed, efficiency, and confidence on every ride.

At the heart of the Blur is Santa Cruz’s premium CC carbon frame, engineered to provide exceptional stiffness, low weight, and long-term durability without compromise. The updated chassis features 120mm of rear travel, paired with a 120mm RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant fork, increasing capability over the previous generation while maintaining the responsive feel expected from a high-performance XC race bike. The refined suspension kinematics feature a more progressive leverage curve that reduces pedal bob, improves climbing efficiency, and provides additional mid-stroke support when charging through technical sections.

Modern XC geometry gives the Blur a more confident and composed ride feel without sacrificing race-winning agility. A 66-degree head angle, 75-degree seat tube angle, and extended reach create improved stability at speed while maintaining the quick handling needed for tight courses and explosive accelerations. Santa Cruz’s proportional geometry ensures consistent handling characteristics across all frame sizes, allowing every rider to experience the same balanced performance.

The Blur 5 CC XX AXS FA Race RSV is equipped with premium race-focused components designed for maximum performance. RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant suspension automatically adjusts performance based on terrain and rider input, optimizing efficiency during climbs while remaining ready for technical descents. SRAM XX SL Eagle AXS wireless shifting provides fast, precise gear changes, while SRAM Motive Ultimate brakes deliver powerful and controlled stopping performance when speed needs to be managed.

Rolling on Reserve 28|XC SL carbon wheels with DT Swiss 180 hubs, the Blur delivers lightweight acceleration, durability, and race-ready responsiveness. The frame also includes thoughtful details for everyday riding and racing, including full-length internal cable routing, integrated chain guide and downtube protection, dual bottle mounts, top tube accessory mounts, and Santa Cruz’s Glovebox storage system for carrying essential trail tools and supplies.

Backed by Santa Cruz’s lifetime warranty and built with the highest quality CC carbon construction, the Blur 5 CC XX AXS FA Race RSV is the ultimate choice for riders who want a lightweight XC race bike that is just as capable pushing limits beyond the finish line.
