The groupset is SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed for smooth, reliable changing, even under pressure. There is dual remote lockout for both front and rear shocks for smoother sections so you can hit the trails or pin on a race number in complete control of how you ride. The suspension is taken care of by FOX, with a lightweight Rhythm 32 fork and Float Performance DPS rear shock. The one-piece carbon VPP® rear triangle shares a similar twin upright design to their World Cup-winning downhill bikes which, when coupled with a one-piece carbon front end, delivers lateral stiffness and tracking ability above its class. The frame is their lightest ever 100mm full suspension, weighing in at 2,060 grams, and features the hugely efficient VPP® suspension design. Everything about it is geared up for speed. The Santa Cruz Blur Carbon C R 29 Mountain Bike is their race-ready, short-travel full-suspension option. True to its more trail orientated billing, the Blur TR rolls Maxxis Rekons and has bigger brakes.SANTA CRUZ BLUR CARBON C R 29" MOUNTAIN BIKE 2021 Rear-suspension sits a bit deeper, at 115mm, balanced by a selection of RockShox SID or Fox 34 fork choices, all configured to 120mm. If you like the idea of an ultra-lightweight Santa Cruz downcountry bike, but don’t slavishly scroll Strava until antisocial early morning hours, there’s the Blur TR. The Blur rolls Maxxis Aspen tyres, with a combination of RockShox SID SL forks and SIDLuxe suspension, both providing 100mm of suspension travel. Responsive suspension choice and fast-rolling rubber And if you worry about hydration, or love rolling your Blur for a five-hour ride, there is adequate room and bolt tread provision inside the front triangle, for two hydration bottle cages. Remember the legendary Blur TRC? This new TR is nearly a degree slacker than that, showing just how far XC bikes have evolved over the last few years.Īn indication of the new Blur’s more progressive geometry is Santa Cruz’s decision to equip all versions with a 60mm stem. Santa Cruz’s Blur TR has evolved into something very much more downcountry, with a 67.1° head angle and 458mm of reach, on a size large. Weighing in at just 10.4kg (claimed), its perfect for both. The head tube is 0.7° slacker at 68.3° and reach, on a size large, stretches to 470mm. The Santa Cruz Blur Carbon CC X01 29 Mountain Bike has been designed to be a race-ready machine. Geometry changes are very slight from the third- to fourth-generation Blur. The new Blur’s flex stays are the result of Santa Cruz’s own composite laboratory and testing, instead of merely relying on an external carbon-fibre supplier and recommended parameters. With its V10 downhill bike and Reserve wheels, Santa Cruz has been a meaningful investor in the pursuit of understanding carbon-fibre, within the mountain biking environment. Lower weight and maintenance are clear wins for XC riders, but some might miss the kinematic complexity and tuning potential for Santa Cruz’s VPP system. This reduces weight and makes the new Blur very similar to its rivals, in terms of suspension linkage. If they were all on Santa Cruz bikes, though, that never wouldve been an issue: they would have picked the Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur CC X01 Complete. Gone are the VPP short links and their additional set of bearings. Santa Cruz has foregone its VPP suspension system, for a flex stay rear triangle, with the chainstay mounting directly to the front triangle. Compared to the third-generation Blur, this new version is a notable 289g less.Ĭredit most of this weight saving to the reduced number of linkage bearings. The frame is terrifically light, at only 1933g, and that includes the RockShox SIDLuxe shock. Santa Cruz is targeting two groups of riders, with this new dual-suspension 29er: gram-obsessed XC racers and downcountry mountain bikers. One of the most celebrated model names in Santa Cruz history, the new Blur majors on lightness and features a reconfigured rear-suspension linkage. ![]() After months of teasing, Santa Cruz has confirmed details and specifications, for its new Blur. ![]()
