Description

RACE DAYS AND WEEKDAYS

The new Blur is made for trails, whether you’re racing for podiums or hammering into the sunrise. 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.

REDUCED & REFINED

Less surface area means less weight. The new Blur is still built tough for a lifetime of riding on rough trails, and carries our legendary lifetime warranty.

DIALED GEOMETRY

We’ve extended the reach significantly, and paired it with shorter stems (50mm on standard builds, 60mm on race builds) to make you feel more like you’re riding “in” the bike instead of “on” 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.

Size Chart

Santa Cruz | Mountain

Size	Rider height (in)	Rider height (cm)
Small	5'1" - 5'5"	154cm - 165cm
Medium	5'5" - 5'9"	165cm - 175cm
Large	5'9" - 6'1"	175cm - 185cm
X-Large	6'1" - 6'4"	185cm - 193cm
XX-Large	6'4" - 6'7"	193cm - 200cm

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.

A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

A SUPERLIGHT™ FULL-SUSPENSION XC BIKE

Cross-country racing isn’t just a power lap around the park anymore. The courses are challenging, and the competition is fierce. Superlight™ provides traction to avoid wobbles while keeping overall weight down. By reducing the number of moving parts, bearings, and linkages, we saved 289g compared to the previous Blur.

A FAIR ADVANTAGE

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.
