Santa Cruz Blur C XT Mountain Bike 2022
For those chasing podiums and personal bests, the Santa Cruz Blur C XT Mountain Bike delivers, and is the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike Santa Cruz has ever developed.
By minimising frame weight and using Superlight™ suspension, your power can be translated into race performance. The Superlight™ system saves 289 grams over VPP™. Tuned with higher anti-squat at the sag point and lower levels deeper into the travel, both traction and efficiency are drastically increased. Chainstay length is optimised across the range of sizes so fit and ride feel is equally good for every rider.
MTB-specific Shimano XT 12-speed components bring shifting precision and superior braking. The bike rolls on bump-absorbing 29" wheels fitted with Maxxis Aspen tubeless-ready tyres, a lightweight XC racing tyre that brings low rolling resistance, with large shoulder knobs for confidence-inspiring cornering.
Not just for short track, the inclusion of two bottle cage mounts within the front triangle (and a third underneath the downtube for the bigger frame sizes) ensures you can stay hydrated on longer rides and races too.
Highlights

- RockShox Sid Luxe Select+ shock
- The latest Blur is the lightest full-suspension carbon XC bike Santa Cruz has ever made - 289 grams lighter than the previous model
- The Blur's chainstay length is matched to frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry and bike fit
- Two water bottle mounts within the front triangle mean there's enough juice (or whatever electrolytes you choose) to keep the engine running (a third one sits under the downtube on medium to extra large frame sizes)
- Shimano XT 12-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes
