The Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur XC Bike

ARRIVAL OF THE FITTEST

We 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.

Available in: Carbon C & Carbon CC
Wheel size: 29"
Front travel: 120mm (TR), 110mm (XC)
Rear travel: 115mm (TR), 107mm (XC)

Carbon C

Our C Carbon frames use the same proprietary processes of the highest spec CC Carbon frames to match the same legendary strength and stiffness standards. But the use of a different grade of carbon material results in a minimal weight gain.

Superlight™ Suspension

Our priority with the Blur was to ensure that every kilojoule of a rider's energy is translated into forward thrust.

That meant making something lightweight but also really efficient. This is the (super)lightest suspension we've ever made.

Santa Cruz Bicycles htSQD background image

THE SANTA CRUZ - SRAM htSQD

The htSQD is a team of three individuals who if you cut them would bleed course tape but who in their own way
subvert the spandex nerdiness that has stunk up the place since the 90s.

Santa Cruz’s approach to XC in the past has been to support a loose-knit pack of long distance hard nuts.
Think Boston Bruins in race-fit kit. But the htSQD, like the Syndicate, are our champagne-hunting, good-time
having individuals with character. Racers who are
champions on and off the bike.

They’re also the only XC team sponsored by a record label.

Frame Sizing

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.
