About this bike

The Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC GX AXS Race RSV is a race-bred cross country machine built for riders who demand the speed of a pure XC platform without sacrificing capability beyond traditional race course boundaries. From explosive sprints to fast lines through technical terrain, this refined XC weapon combines increased travel, advanced suspension performance, and race-winning geometry to deliver a lightweight platform that rewards speed, efficiency, and confidence across every ride.

Show full description and specs

The foundation is Santa Cruz's premium CC carbon frame, engineered to provide exceptional stiffness and low weight without compromise. The updated chassis features 120mm of rear travel paired with a 120mm RockShox SID Select+ fork, increasing capability over the previous generation while maintaining the responsive, agile feel demanded by high-performance XC racing. The refined suspension kinematics feature a more progressive leverage curve that reduces pedal bob, improves climbing efficiency, and provides additional mid-stroke support when charging through technical sections where momentum matters.

Modern XC geometry gives the Blur a composed, confident ride feel without sacrificing the quick handling essential for tight courses and explosive accelerations. A 66-degree head angle, 75-degree seat tube angle, and extended reach create improved stability at speed while maintaining the snappy steering response that defines winning XC bikes. Santa Cruz's proportional geometry ensures consistent handling characteristics across all frame sizes, allowing every rider to experience the same balanced performance.

The build pairs RockShox SidLuxe Select+ rear shock with SRAM GX AXS wireless drivetrain, delivering fast, precise gear changes and efficient power transfer. Reserve 28|XC carbon wheels deliver lightweight acceleration and race-ready responsiveness.

Thoughtful details round out the package: full-length internal cable routing, integrated chain guide and downtube protection, dual bottle mounts, top tube accessory mounts, and Santa Cruz's Glovebox integrated storage system for essential trail tools.
