We tapped into everything weve learned from years of making the highest quality carbon full-suspension bikes and added the super-efficient Superlight suspension to make a World Cup-winning XC race bike. The Blur isnt guaranteed to make you a race winner but being the lightest, full-suspension carbon XC bike weve ever made, it might be the difference between claiming first place…or just crossing the line.

FEATURES:

• Eagle 70 Mechanical Transmission: The first of its kind with a full mount interfaceno derailleur hanger, no compromises. Shift anywhere, under full power. Easy install, no adjustment screws. Rebuildable, reliable, affordable.
• XC or TR:The TR builds feature more travel (115mm rear, 120mm front) slightly beefier tires (Maxxis Rekon), a full height adjust dropper post, no lockout remote, and larger brake rotors. It’s not a trail bike, it’s a XC bike for certain courses.
• Light Carbon Frame:The full-suspension Blur is lighter than most pre-race dinners you’ll eat – 289g saving over previous generation.
• Geo to match:The Blur’s chainstay length is matched to frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry and bike fit.
• Two water bottles:Two water bottle mounts within the front triangle mean there’s enough juice (or whatever electrolytes you choose) to keep the engine running.
• No proprietary gubbins:There’s no fiddly proprietary parts that could leave you stranded in a Cape Epic or Breck Epic campsite.
• Made to last many lifetimes:The legendary Santa Cruz fit, finish and quality construction put this into a league of its own. The frame, bearings and optional Reserve wheels come with a lifetime warranty and any service is easy to do with our Rider Support pledge.
• Chainguide:The only thing you’ll be dropping is your competitors
