Every weekend, at races around the world, there's a driver being lifted onto the shoulders of the crowd and carried to the podium. Or at least one who goes home with a water bottle as a prize. Between these races, countless bikers sweat it out on trainers and in gyms, dreaming of victory themselves. They understand that success comes from hard work. This is where the Blur comes into play. Santa Cruz brings everything they have learned over the years in developing high-quality full-suspension carbon bikes to minimize the weight of the Blur frame. The sleek frame and super-efficient Superlight™ suspension are key to translating muscular effort into forward motion. However, the Blur is not just designed for Short Track Cross Country. Two water bottle mounts in the main frame cater to even the thirstiest racer. The high-quality finish and sturdy carbon construction ensure worry-free performance in multi-day races — meaning there are no cumbersome solutions or special parts that could leave you stranded in the pits of events like the Cape Epic or Transalp. The carbon frame is incredibly light yet durable. And like all our bikes, we back your ambitions with the lifetime Santa Cruz warranty and the Rider Support Team, promising top-notch quality. While the Blur doesn’t guarantee victory, it is the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike ever built. The frame weighs 289g less than its predecessor (complete bikes start at 12.6kg). This weight difference can make the crucial difference in a sprint for the top spot... or just to reach the finish line of your personal challenge.
