Santa Cruz Mountain Bikes with Custom Wheels

Bike:Blur LT Carbon-XT Rapidfire with Custom Wheels

It's just like the Blur LT that everybody loves, except it's lighter, stiffer, faster, more responsive and way stronger. In fact, the Santa Cruz Blur LT Carbon is the strongest frame Santa Cruz has ever built, bar none. And, it sports the stiffest chassis they've ever built. Whether you build up a lightweight trail flyer or take it to the hilt, you never have to ask if the frame can handle whatever travel fork you want to put on it…or if there are rider weight limits…or if its burly enough to handle a 6' drop to flat…or any of those niggling little questions that people are always asking about carbon fiber frames. The catchall answer to any of these "is it tough enough" questions is, "Yes." Think of the Blur LT Carbon as a hairy chested, all-mountain ass kicker…in a hockey mask...with a chain saw.

Bike: Santa Cruz Blur LT 2-XTR Dual Control with Custom Wheels

The Blur LT is one of those rare, hard to define machines, light and nimble enough to thrive in cut and dice woodsy singletrack riding, yet strong, plush and stable, and very much at home dropping down steep and scary terrain. And it climbs mighty nicely, too. It's a true jack-of-all-trades, with none of the compromises that usually implies. The LT has undergone a thorough revision, featuring a new frame design, new linkages and a new VPP suspension offering 140mm travel. The alloy lower link has grease ports and intricate labyrinth seals to operate in a clean, quiet, contaminant-free environment. The upper link is now molded from carbon fiber and the shock mount is isolated from the pivot axles. Beefy 15mm pivot axles bolt into the frame and feature aluminum collett-heads to secure the linkage, eliminating any chance of loosening or slop. If you could only have one bike, this would be the one.

Frame: Custom butted 6069 aluminum tube set with VPP linkage. Sealed cartridge bearings and replaceable dropouts. 140mm travel. Shock: Custom valve Fox RP23. Frame Weight (Med): 6 lbs. 3 oz. Sizes: SM-XL. Recommended Fork Travel: 140 - 160mm. Powder Coat Colors: Black, orange, white, sand, gangreen and liquid blue. Anodized colors:Black or brown.

Bike:Blur XC Carbon-Sram Elixir With Custom King Wheels

Having pushed the concept of lightweight VPP suspension as far as it could go with the old, aluminum Blur XC, Santa Cruz turned to carbon fiber to take the next step.
