When the trails call for a bike with more capability, but we still need a fast and agile ride, the Santa Cruz Blur is our go-to choice. Cross-country race bike at heart, but upgraded with 15 millimeters more travel in the rear and 20 on the fork, the Blur Trail blurs the lines between a cross-country bike and a trail bike. With a chassis more capable than the XC Blur and nearly as light, the Blur Trail is a prime choice for XC riders looking for a more capable ride. Santa Cruz's new Superlight suspension platform was specifically designed for the Blur, making it more energy-efficient and reducing overall weight from their previous VPP suspension platform. With a more linear leverage curve and lower anti-squat values, Superlight gives us a suspension platform that climbs and descends more efficiently and reduces the number of moving parts for a lighter-weight, more reliable suspension platform. With a 67. 1-degree head tube angle, we are in a much better position to point the wheels downhill and over chunky terrain than any other XC bike. Size-specific chainstays and seat tube angles position every sized rider in the perfect position for an efficient pedaling position and a perfectly balanced and poppy ride. Integrated downtube and chainstay protectors keep our bike safe from chain slaps and rock strikes, and internal cable routing makes for a silent and clean ride. The GX Eagle Transmission build of the Santa Cruz Blur Trail is equipped with quality components that offer incredible value. SRAM's GX Eagle Transmission drivetrain provides reliable and precise electronic shifting, a huge gear range, and a nearly indestructible build. A Fox Performance Elite 34 Step-Cast fork with 120mm of travel helps to save weight, maintains traction with the dirt, and is loaded with adjustments to ensure the fork meets our riding style. RaceFace ARC Offset 27 rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs pair together to make a race-worthy wheelset that is both reliable and strong. A Fox Transfer P...
