Santa Cruz Blur and Highball

New Santa Cruz models announced!

With the usual media fanfare, Santa Cruz have just announced 2 new models - or the return of previous models to be more accurate!

Blur

Originally, the Tallboy was Santa Cruz's lightweight, shorter travel 29er - but over a few itereations that's gradually erred longer travel and more trail orientated.  For the XC race rider, that left a bit of a gap - hence the return of the Blur!

 

- 100mm travel front and rear

- 29" wheels

- VPP rear suspension

- 1x drivetrain specific

- routing for remote dropper seatpost and remote shock lockout

- two bottle cages

- Boost spacing

- Small, Medium, Large, XL sizes

- Matt Carbon or Sunset Orange

 

There's no plan to offer an aluminium Blur, but it'll be available with both Carbon C and Carbon CC frame options.

 

- Blur Carbon C, R build kit - £3700

- Blur Carbon C, S build kit - £4400

- Blur Carbon C, XE build kit - £4800

- Blur Carbon CC, XO1 build kit - £5700

- Blur Carbon CC, XO1 Reserve build kit - £6900

- Blur Carbon CC, XX1 Reserve build kit - £7900

You can see full build specs on the Santa Cruz website, we'll get them live on our site ASAP too!

Highball

Most of the hardtails that we sell tend to be steel all-rounders, but there's definitely space for a light and fast race bike - the Highball is back!  Think rigid Blur - something for XC races, trailquests or long distance efforts.

 

- 29"wheels 

- suits 100mm travel fork

- New Carbon layup, with dropped seatstays

- 27.2mm seatpost for compliance

- 3 sets of bottle bosses

- Internal cable routing

 

Again, we see Carbon C and Carbon CC options;
