2022 Santa Cruz Blur 4

2022 Santa Cruz Blur 4

For every short and long track.

The Santa Cruz Blur is the lightest full-suspension XC model the company has ever made, designed to race and win cross-country races. It's been the choice of podium winners at the Downieville Classic and 3 World Cup wins in 2022.

This is a lightweight and efficient design that translates all of your energy into forward thrust. The VPP suspension Santa Cruz typically uses on their bikes is swapped for a Superlight set-up. It doesn't have a lower link or an additional pivot. Instead, the seat stays flex a small amount. Carbon C and CC frames are light and made to go the distance.

29er wheels provide optimal speed and climbing power. Best of all, there are two versions of the Blur - XC and TR, offering different front and rear travel to rule all the trails. This is the bike you need for your own championship wins. Hours of riding and building skills, and many races in your future.
