When we are looking for a bike with trail capability and cross-country finesse and speed, the Santa Cruz Blur Trail C S Mountain Bike is our one-stop shop. Cross-country race bike at heart, but upgraded with 15 millimeters more travel in the rear and 20 on the fork, the Blur Trail blurs the lines between a cross-country bike and a trail bike.

With a 67. 1-degree head tube angle, we are in a much better position to point the wheels downhill and over chunky terrain than any other XC bike. Size-specific chainstays and seat tube angles position every sized rider in the perfect position for an efficient pedaling position and a perfectly balanced and poppy ride. Santa Cruz implemented their new Superlight suspension platform specifically for the Blur, reducing overall weight and making for a more energy-efficient design over their previous VPP suspension platform. With a more linear leverage curve and lower anti-squat values, Superlight gives us a suspension platform that climbs and descends more efficiently and reduces the number of moving parts for a lighter weight and more reliable suspension platform. Integrated downtube and chainstay protectors keep our bike safe from chain slaps and rock strikes, and internal cable routing makes for a clean-looking, silent ride. The S build of the Santa Cruz Blur Trail is equipped with quality components that offer incredible value. SRAM's GX Eagle drivetrain provides reliable components and a huge gear range. A Fox Performance 34 Step-Cast fork with 120mm of travel helps to save weight and maintains traction with the dirt, inspiring confidence in high-speed situations. RaceFace AR Offset 27 rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs pair together to make a shred-worthy wheelset that is both reliable and strong. A Fox Transfer Performance SL dropper po...
