A Fair AdvantageWe tapped into everything we’ve 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 isn’t guaranteed to make you a race winner but being the lightest, full-suspension carbon XC bike we’ve ever made, it might be the difference between claiming first place...or just crossing the line.
XC or TRThe 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 FrameThe full-suspension Blur is lighter than most pre-race dinners you'll eat - 289g saving over previous generation.
Reserve 28 XC wheelsThis is the lightest Reserve MTB rim (385g or 1367g complete). The rim bed is shallower and wider, meant for the newer generation of higher volume XC tires which are popular with elite racers.
Geo to matchThe 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 bottlesTwo water bottle mounts within the front triangle mean there's enough juice (or whatever electrolytes you choose) to keep the engine running.
No proprietary gubbinsThere's no fiddly proprietary parts that could leave you stranded in a Cape Epic or Breck Epic campsite.
Made to last many lifetimesThe 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.
