Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC XX AXS FA Race 2027 Bike No Apologies, No Compromises, Just Race-Day Perfection XC Racing gets harder each year, and the Blur 5 is built for that reality. This CC Carbon full-suspension race bike runs 120mm of rear travel matched to a 120mm front fork, an increase over the outgoing Blur without adding weight to the frame. A revised leverage curve adds more support through the middle of the stroke, so pedaling stays efficient and the bike stays composed when the trail gets rough. Reach has been extended, the head angle is set at 66 degrees, and the seat tube angle is steepened to 75 degrees, giving you a more confident position on technical descents without giving up climbing efficiency. The bottom bracket sits lower at 334mm for a more planted feel through corners. A threaded 73mm bottom bracket, ISCG05-compatible chain guide, and a stick-on downtube protector, back up the performance changes with the durability Santa Cruz is known for. Every frame carries Santa Cruz's lifetime warranty and free bearings for the original owner. This is the top of the Blur 5 line, and the spec shows it. A Rock Shox SID Ultimate FA fork and SID Luxe Ultimate FA shock give you the lightest, most tunable suspension package Santa Cruz offers on this bike, running a flat bar and 60mm stem for a true race position. SRAM XX AXS SL is SRAM'S lightest wireless drivetrain, shifting with no cable drag and no compromise, and SRAM'S Motive Ultimate brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear bring the same top-tier feel to your stopping power. Reserve 28|XC carbon rims are built on DT 180 carbon spoke hubs, about as light and stiff as a race wheelset gets, wrapped in Maxxis Rekon Race tires for minimal rolling resistance on race day. A Reverb AXS wireless dropper post rounds out the build, giving you instant, cable-free saddle adjustment mid-lap. At 25. 23 lbs, this build is built for riders who race to win and don't want to think about their equipment again until the finish line.
