Santa Cruz Blur TR XX SL Transmission Reserve Contender Kit

The Santa Cruz Blur has long stood as a benchmark in the world of cross-country (XC) bikes, renowned for its speed, endurance, and all-around XC performance. The newest iteration of the Blur takes it a step further, becoming the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike ever created by Santa Cruz. Here at Contender, we’re enthusiastic about the Blur and are constantly looking for ways to enhance it to suit your riding needs.

Working in a bike shop involves a lot of hands-on experience with bikes, including assembling and riding various builds. For our “Shop Pick Build,” our team members Ryan and Mat have crafted an ideal setup, and we’re excited to offer it while supplies last. The concept is straightforward: starting with the Blur TR CC X0 AXS Transmission Reserve kit, we’ve elevated the build by incorporating SRAM’s top-tier XX SL rear derailleur, crankset, cassette, and chain, complemented by the SRAM AXS Pod Ultimate Bridge shifter. This upgrade not only reduces weight but also provides nearly all the premium features of the highest-level Blur, at a significantly more accessible price.

This Shop Pick Blur features a 120mm FOX 34SC Float Factory fork and a 190x45mm FOX Float Factory rear shock, ensuring a responsive and smooth ride. The bike is equipped with Reserve 28 XC rims paired with Industry Nine 1/1 hubs, SRAM Level Silver Stealth 4-Piston brakes, and Maxxis Rekon Race WT EXO tires. These components work together to deliver exceptional performance and reliability on the trail. The combination of these high-end features makes this Blur a versatile and durable choice for any XC enthusiast. 

Don’t miss out on this special-spec Blur CC. Save money while riding what might just be the fastest XC bike available. This setup combines top-tier components with our best pricing, making it an outstanding choice for any serious XC rider.
