SANTA CRUZ BLUR 5
Race days and weekdays. The new Blur gets 120mm of travel front and rear — with no weight penalty — plus a longer, slacker, lower geometry that's built for how rough modern XC has become. Sprint for the hole shot, then ride it as a lightweight, immensely capable short-travel trail bike on the days between races.
Every Blur is built on CC carbon, our lightest grade, across the entire line. Slimmer tubes and a refined layup shave grams without giving up strength — there's no rider weight limit, and it carries our lifetime warranty on frame, pivot bearings and Reserve rims.
Highlights

Fully customisable builds
Every Blur can be built to order. Choose a complete kit as specced, or work with us to tailor the build to your riding — Fox or RockShox suspension, mechanical or wireless drivetrain, race-spec flat bar and 60mm stem or a 20mm riser and 50mm stem, wheelset, tyres, cockpit and finishing kit. Every frame accommodates mechanical derailleur routing, so nothing is locked in.
