The BLUR S is the only Santa Cruz that breaks with the otherwise uniform appearance of fullys. Because for the option of installing a total of three bottle holders on the frame, the damper had to move under the top tube. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Santa Cruz engineers. For 6199 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame! Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Santa Cruz BLUR S sizing runs big.
