SANTA CRUZ BLUR CARBON C S TR 29" MOUNTAIN BIKE 2021
The Santa Cruz Blur Carbon C S TR 29 Mountain Bike offers the same lightweight frame and technology as the other models in the range but has been specced to add a little more trail ability to its race credentials. It gets a 110mm version of FOX’s Step-Cast 34 Float Performance fork, with the wider stanchions adding a bit more stiffness, a larger front rotor, grippy Maxxis Rekon tyres and perhaps most importantly, a RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper seat post. These differences greatly increase the Blur’s versatility at the cost of a little weight, whilst still retaining its speed and performance.
The rear suspension is provided by the FOX Float Performance DPS, which is their best performing inline shock. The use of of a Dual Piston System (DPS) has added an extra dimension with the rebound and compression flow improved resulting in a more controlled ride. It can be adjusted on the fly, with three settings, Open, Medium and Firm, to suit the terrain.
The carbon VPP (Virtual Pivot Point) rear triangle shares a twin upright design with Santa Cruz’s World Cup-winning downhill bikes, offering fantastic stiffness and strength for great handling through rock gardens and rooty singletrack. A 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle groupset and Level TL hydraulic disc brakes provide reliable shifting and braking, with the 180mm front rotor giving increased bite under pressure. Race Face’s ARC Offset 25 rims and DT Swiss 370 hubs are laced up with Competition spokes for a wheelset that can stand up to some abuse but won’t disappoint on race day either.
