Expirience with the Santa Cruz BLUR XT / C / 29

Ludwig Döhl The BLUR XT 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. With its balanced handling, riding the Racebike of Santa Cruz feels really intuitive. Due to the interplay of a relatively long top tube and a low stack, the riding position is sporty. 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. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Santa Cruz is behind its products. Check the size chart exactly before buying: the Santa Cruz Fully sizing runs big.
