We never went to cross country school. If we had, the report card would have read like a masterclass in delinquency: “Uses 120mm travel for 24 hour events”. “Races hardtails with 140mm forks”. “Charges uphill on 160mm gravity bikes.” We’ve been sat at the back of the class all our lives. But it doesn’t mean we haven’t been paying attention.
The Blur combines everything we’ve learned from years of making carbon bikes. It’s the lightest full-suspension mountain bike we’ve ever made and features 100mm Superlight™ (or 115mm with the Blur TR) suspension designed for the likes of Maxime Marotte to taste that top step champagne.

• About Santa Cruz Bikes •
Santa Cruz Bicycles was founded in 1993 in a space the size of a single car garage in the Seabright Cannery, in Santa Cruz California. Our first bike, the Tazmon, was a single pivot dual suspension mountain bike that rattled established sensibilities and helped define our then- ethos of "simply advanced." That bike was the cornerstone for a brand that was founded on the notion of doing things our own way in order to build the best. We have been rattling sensibilities ever since.
