New Santa Cruz Blur is in stock at N+1 Bikes!
Thinking of making the jump? Hereâs the deets:
FOR RACE DAYS AND WEEKDAYS
The new Blur is made for trails, whether youâre racing for podiums or hammering into the sunrise. The suspension, geometry, and chassis combine to deliver a platform capable of the top stepâthe rest is up to you.
We bumped up the travel, updated the geometry, and spent a lot of time tweaking the suspension kinematics to encourage you to obliterate the boundaries of a traditional âXC bike.â The Blur is right at home sprinting for the hole shot, but itâs also a lightweight and immensely capable short-travel trail bike for the days between the races. Whether youâre sprinting out of the gate or out of a corner, aiming for the horizon or the apex, the Blur takes XCO and injects some âoh, hell yeah!â into every ride, Monday through Sunday.
NOTHING IS LIGHTER THAN SOMETHING
REDUCED & REFINED
Less surface area means less weight. We slimmed down the frame tubes, tweaked the shapes, and took a pair of shears to nearly every carbon ply to reduce the amount of material required to make the frame. Despite the weight loss program, Blur is still built tough enough for a lifetime of riding on rough trails, and carries our legendary lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
ENGINEERS ON THE ONES AND TWOS
DIALED GEOMETRY
Weâve extended the reach significantly, and paired it with shorter stems (50mm on standard builds, 60mm on race builds) to make you feel more like youâre riding âinâ the bike instead of âonâ the bike. Combined with a 75-degree seat tube angle and a 66-degree head tube angle, the new Blur encourages and rewards hard, aggressive riding on both the climbs and descents. That steeper seat tube is also shorter to allow for better seatpost insertion and longer droppers.
