Konaman Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Has anybody on the hub got the new Santa Cruz Blur XC Carbon or has ridden it? The duel susp frame only weighs about 1.9kg and apparently it is super stiff and virtually unbreakable. How does it compare with Giant Anthem and the Specialized Epic etc? Will it be competitive in XC racing? Any comments? Edited July 30, 2011 by Konaman
crasher Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) I got one last year looks like they made a few tweaks judging by that pic. My frame with headset and rear shock weighed 2.14kg if I remember correctly. I have crashed mine harder than any of my aluminium bikes and its still fine I like it and think its a good bike Here is mine Edited July 30, 2011 by crasher
chris_w_65 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I got one last year but all that has changed is the colour/paint. My frame with headset and rear shock weighed 2.14kg if I remember correctly. I have crashed mine harder than any of my aluminium bikes and its still fine I like it and think its a good bike Here is mine Do the top tubes have different bends in them or is it an optical illusion?
crasher Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Yes looks different but dont know what size frame that is but it takes a tapered headset now which is new
Superfly Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 It is the best bike ever. Mine weighs in at 9,7kg complete. The best singletrack munching cross country racing beast ever.I have the tallboy also but prefer the blur.
Swift01 Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The tube bends more depending on what size the frame is. Friend of mine has one and she loves it.

I opted for a Morewood Zula instead after my friends mishap with his Blur. I still don't trust carbon frames when you're a heavier rider (i.e. me = 90kg).
perp Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 How much do these bikes go for? depending on spec, not cheap. Superfly that is damn light
crasher Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) How much do these bikes go for? Frame is plus minus 22K I think Phone Mikes Bikes they are the agents they do beautifull builds as well Edited August 1, 2011 by crasher
