About this product
This 2023 Santa Cruz BLUR XT RSV / Carbon C is an XL size full suspension mountain bike, weighing 25lbs 7oz. It features a carbon C frame with a BSA 73mm threaded bottom bracket, 29" Reserve 28 XC Carbon rims with DT Swiss 350 hubs, and Maxxis Aspen 29 x 2.4 WT tires. Suspension is handled by a RockShox Sid SL Select+ fork with 100mm travel and a RockShox SidLuxe Select+ rear shock with 100mm travel. The drivetrain is a Shimano XT 1x12 mechanical system with hydraulic disc brakes.
Our take
The 2023 Santa Cruz BLUR XT RSV is a top-tier cross-country machine, perfect for riders who prioritize speed and efficiency. The Carbon C frame keeps the weight down, contributing to its nimble feel, and at 25lbs 7oz, it's impressively light for a full-suspension bike. The 100mm of travel from the RockShox suspension front and rear offers a balanced and controlled ride for technical singletrack. The Shimano XT 1x12 drivetrain provides reliable mechanical shifting, while the hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful and consistent stopping. The Reserve carbon wheelset is a great touch, adding to the overall performance. This XL size is definitely for taller riders, but it's built for competitive riding.
