Sizing & Geometry
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.

The new Blur is made for trails, whether you’re racing for podiums or hammering into the sunrise. The suspension, geometry, and chassis combine to deliver a platform capable of the top step—the 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 “XC bike.” The Blur is right at home sprinting for the hole shot, but it’s also a lightweight and immensely capable short-travel trail bike for the days between the races. Whether you're sprinting out of the gate or out of a corner, aiming for the horizon or the apex, the Blur takes XCO and injects some 'oh, hell yeah!' into every ride, Monday through Sunday.

Other Builds
Blur 90
Centered on SRAM's Eagle 90 mechanical drivetrain, this build adds a Fox 34 SL Performance and Fox Float SL Performance to handle suspension duties. A OneUp dropper, Maxxis Exo+ tires, and RaceFace wheels with DT Swiss hubs round out the build.
Blur Deore
Shimano's refreshed and reliable Deore drivetrain is paired with a Rock Shox SID and a Fox Float Rhythm for a quality build that doesn't break the bank.
Blur GX AXS
It's electric—SRAM's GX AXS electronic drivetrain handles pedaling duties, while Fox's Peformance Elite suspension takes care of the squish. SRAM's Motive Bronze brakes slow you down, and you'll be rolling on reliable RaceFace hoops with DT Swiss hubs.
Blur GX AXS Race RSV
Race trim without the robots: SRAM's electronic GX group is paired with RockShox Select+ suspension (with lockouts), and rolls on Reserve's 28|XC rims laced to DT Swiss 350 hubs.
Blur X0 AXS RSV
Fox's Factory-level suspension joins SRAM's X0 AXS electronic drivetrain to deliver performance uphill and down. Reserve carbon wheels with DT Swiss 350 hubs complete the package.
Blur XTR RSV
The sweet, smooth, silent Shimano XTR drivetrain is paired with Fox's Facotry suspension and Reserve 28|XC wheels with DT Swiss 180 hubs. Nothing needs upgrading from here.
