SANTA CRUZ BLUR CC XX1 RESERVE

TThe Blur is the lightest carbon dual-suspension frame Santa Cruz has ever made. It’s built around 100mm of their legendary VPP (virtual pivot point) suspension, which directs all your energy into propelling the bike forwards without sacrificing handling over rough terrain. In other words, high-speed ability matched with low-speed agility.

It’s an all-out XC beast that will make everyone in the Berg & Bush race village jealous. Like other Santa Cruz bikes, it carries a lifetime warranty on the frame, on the pivot bearings and even on the optional Reserve carbon wheels (if you’re the original owner). It’s eye-wateringly expensive, but it’s glorious.
