Expirience with the Santa Cruz Blur XX SL AXS RSV | Carbon CC

Ludwig Döhl The Blur XX SL AXS RSV 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 With the weight indication of 10,44 kg, Santa Cruz lets the competitors look outdated. Because under the Racebike you will hardly find a lighter model. Riding pleasure guaranteed. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. The seating position is sporty. There are Racebike in the price above 8000 Euro that have more potential downhill. Anyway: In the uphill, the Santa Cruz Blur XX SL AXS RSV lets the competitors look outdated. We like: 25 years warranty on the frame! Caution when selecting the size: the Carbon frame sizing runs big.
