Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur C S Mountain Bike Gloss Spring Green, L

The Santa Cruz Blur is our go-to bike for cross-country races and weekend singletrack rides alike. We love the Santa Cruz Blur for its extremely lightweight frame, cross-country-focused geometry, and new Superlight suspension platform. The Blur has an agile 68. 3-degree head tube angle, allowing it to steer precisely and still handle whatever the XC course throws at it.
