{"product_id":"santa-cruz-blur-2027","title":"Blur 2027","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Santa Cruz Blur is the brand's cross-country race bike, and for 2027 it has been redrawn from the ground up. Where the old Blur was a narrowly focused whippet built for smooth World Cup circuits, the new one is a genuinely modern XC bike: 120mm of travel at both ends, geometry that finally matches the way cross-country courses have evolved, and a frame that carries everything you need for a long day out without a pack on your back. It is still built to win races, but it is far more capable now when the course, or the ride, turns rowdy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headline change is the geometry. The head angle has been slackened to 66° for more composure when you are pointing downhill and carrying speed, while the seat tube has been steepened to 75° to put you in a stronger, more efficient position for the long climbs that so often decide XC races. Reach has grown right across the range, from 425mm on a Small up to 500mm on an Extra Large, and is paired with a short 50mm stem, so the bike feels roomy and planted without ever turning sluggish through tight, technical singletrack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath sits a new suspension platform running 120mm front and rear. A redesigned, lighter rocker link gives the VPP system an improved leverage curve over its predecessor, so the Blur pedals with the firm, efficient support you want when you are putting the power down, yet stays supple and controlled over roots, rocks and braking bumps. It is a noticeably more settled bike than the one it replaces, without giving up the razor-sharp acceleration the Blur has always been known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery UK Blur now uses Santa Cruz's top-tier CC carbon frame, so there is no lesser layup to worry about anywhere in the range. Tube-in-tube internal routing makes cable swaps far less of a chore and keeps things quiet out on the trail, and the frame has lost weight while gaining practicality. There is a V2 Glovebox in the down tube for stashing tools, spares and snacks out of the wind, a top-tube accessory mount for a tube or multi-tool, and room for two bottle cages inside the front triangle - a rare treat on a bike this focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 90 build lands at £5,299 and is a properly race-ready spec. A Fox 34 SL Float Performance fork and Fox Float SL Performance shock look after the suspension, SRAM's 90 Eagle T-Type 12-speed transmission handles shifting with a wide 10-52t range, and SRAM DB8 brakes on 180mm HS2 rotors keep everything in check. Fast-rolling Maxxis Aspen tyres, DT Swiss 370 hubs laced to RaceFace AR rims and a OneUp dropper post round out a bike that is ready to race straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing -\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS: 5'0 -
