Description
When we are fixing to put in the miles but need a bike that is a little more capable for rougher terrain, the Santa Cruz Blur Trail CC X0 Eagle Transmission Reserve mountain bike is our go-to. Cross-country race bike at heart, but Frankensteined with 15 millimeters of 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 chassis nearly as light as the cross-country Blur but way more capable, the Blur trail is a prime choice for when you still want to be able to fly but are riding on more aggressive terrain. 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 rider, regardless of stature or frame size, in the perfect position for an efficient and centered pedaling position and provides a perfectly balanced, agile ride. The Blur utilizes Santa Cruz’s new Superlight suspension platform, reducing overall weight and making for a more energy-efficient design over their previous VPP suspension platform. Integrated downtube and chainstay protectors keep our bike safe from chain slap and rock strikes, and internal cable routing makes for a clean-looking bike. The XO AXS Reserve build of the Santa Cruz Blur Trail is equipped with top-quality components as well as Santa Cruz’s premium Carbon CC frame. SRAM’s XO Eagle AXS Transmission Drivetrain offers a robust electronic drivetrain that offers precise shifting, even under load, and an automatic clutch mechanism that ensures our derailleur is in a perfect position every time. A Fox Factory 34 Step-Cast fork helps to save weight and is super adjustable, allowing us to get our ideal setting for our riding style. Reserve carbon XC 28 rims and industry Nine 1/1 hubs pair together to make a world cup-worthy wheelset that will turn heads as we pass by. A Fox Factory Transfer SL dropper post is lightweight and has super smooth actuation, making for effortless changes in saddle height. Maxxis Rekon Race tires are fast-rolling and lightweight without sacrificing the grip we need. Finally, the new SRAM Level Silver Stealth brakes supply all the stopping power we need without the added weight *Due to a high demand in the global supply chain and bike industry since the start of the pandemic, material weight and exact components are subject to change. We are working diligently to keep tech specs updated, and any adjustments will be of equal or better spec level.
