Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC GX AXS 2027 Bike Wireless Shifting, No Race-Day Markup XC Racing gets harder every 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. The Reach has been extended, the head angle 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 Race build swaps to a flat bar and 60mm stem, matched with a Rock Shox SID Select+ fork and Rock Shox SID Luxe Select+ shock, both with a remote lockout so you can firm up the suspension for a smooth grind and open it back up the moment the trail turns technical. A SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain shifts under load without a cable to worry about, and SRAM'S Motive Bronze brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear give you reliable stopping power at speed. Reserve 28|XC carbon rims on DT Swiss 350 hubs form a genuine race wheelset, wrapped in Maxxis Rekon Race tires for a fast-rolling, low-drag tread built specifically for competition. A One Up dropper post lets you move the saddle out of the way in a hurry when the course drops in. At 26. 59 lbs, this build is set up exactly how you'd spec a race bike yourself, straight out of the box.
