The Santa Cruz Bicycles Blur 4 C R TR Complete Mountain Bike isn't one to waste time talking shop, trying to figure out what limiting genre it fits in. This is an everyday whippet with the heart of an enduro bike. With more travel and a slightly beefier build than the standard Blur, this TR build is more trail-capable, but it's still light years from being a tank. This is a bike that tips the scales in the mid-20s but can handle being ridden like the Santa Cruz it is. With great geo, suspension, and bigger trail tires, this is a bike that'll make your overbiked buddies reconsider their speed-to-squish ratios.
Carbon C Frame – A minimal weight gain of approximately 250 - 280 grams (0.6 lbs) for the C frame over the CC due to the different grade of carbon used. Whether you're riding a carbon CC or C frame, you get exactly the same legendary strength and stiffness because Santa Cruz uses exactly the same manufacturing facility and techniques.
Superlight™ Suspension – Cross-country racing isn't a power lap around the park anymore. The courses are challenging and the competition fierce. Superlight™ provides traction to avoid the wobblers but keeps overall weight down. By reducing the amount of moving parts, bearings and linkages, Santa Cruz save up to 289g over previous models.
Fox Float DPS Performance Rear Shock – Performance Series FLOAT DPS shocks have fewer adjustments than Factory Series (no Open mode adjust tuning range), and have black anodized air sleeve and body instead of Genuine Kashima Coat.
Shock Adjustments – Lever Actuated Open, Medium, Firm Modes, Air Spring Pressure, External Rebound
