The Santa Cruz Blur

The Blur is Santa Cruz's lightweight, efficient XC race slayer.

Santa Cruz drew on everything they've learned from years of crafting the highest-quality carbon full-suspension bikes and added the super-efficient Superlight™ suspension to create a World Cup-winning XC race bike. While the Blur isn't guaranteed to make you a race winner, being the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike we've ever made might be the difference between contending for first place or just crossing the line.

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.

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.
