Santa Cruz Blur XC Review
Santa Cruz continues to lead the pack with its countless bicycle innovations and the Blur XC is no exception. The Blur offers top of the line race driven performance and quality with out sacrificing comfort. With its patented VPP suspension that offers a not to shabby 115 mm of rear wheel travel coupled with a bomber yet light weight (5.2 lbs for the med frame) 6062 Aluminum frame and swing arm. The Blur XC is the king of the hill of mountain bikes! Having ridden and raced mountian bikes for years the Santa Cruz Blur XC is the first no compromises all out cross country shredding machine I have ever had the pleasure of riding!!!
The only real issue that I have had is the lack of clearance for mud in the rear triangle between the tire and the cross brace. Then again its a minor wrong when you have so many rights. So for those of you looking to sink your teeth into a new set of wheels check out the Santa Cruz Blur XC, you will not be dissapointed!!

That looks like a choice
That looks like a choice piece of machinery. I like the "stands up by itself" feature. Sweeeet!
