Expirience with the Santa Cruz BLUR S / TR / C / 29

Santa Cruz BLUR S / TR / C / 29 Review 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. Anyone who has no concrete preferences when it comes to handling, can´t go wrong with the Santa Cruz Fully. Because his handling is pleasantly balanced. If you want to get ahead efficiently and quickly, you will welcome the sporty riding position. There are Downcountry-Bike in the price under 8000 Euro that have more potential downhill. Santa Cruz gives 25 years warranty on the bike.
