Santa Cruz Blur 5 CC X0 AXS Reserve Complete Mountain Bike 2027

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm).

Engineered to tackle the most challenging terrain with enhanced comfort and control. Unlike hardtail bikes, full suspension bikes feature both front and rear suspension systems that allow the wheels to move independently from the frame.

Carbon is a composite frame material. Unlike metals, carbon is composed of fibrous strands woven into a grid and bonded with epoxy. Carbon is favored by many for its lightness and stiffness but its complexity in fabrication makes it the most expensive option.

The 34 SL brings never-before-seen XC capability into a full-width 34 chassis with up to 130mm of travel. Built for the most technical World Cup XC courses and demanding Downcountry riding, 34 SL adds more stiffness, more suppleness and minimal weight gain from the 34 Step-Cast fork.

“Factory” says it all – feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Fox's Factory-level riders. What they sell is what they race. Factory Series products feature slippery smooth, ultra-durable Genuine Kashima Coat.

The newly designed AXS Pod Rocker Controller gives riders a familiar interface with multiple touchpoints for their cutting-edge electronic control. Effortless electronic shifting paired with a rocking actuation allows riders to experience a different ergonomic position with their Pod controller. Pod’s functions are customizable through the AXS app, allowing you to assign any action to any button. The Pod Rocker caps are left and right specific, for use with Eagle Powertrain or RockShox Flight Attendant.

Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle T-Type derailleur mounts around the wheel axle itself, contacting the cassette directly with a first-of-its-kind Hangerless Interface. Beyond that, its Full Mount attachment method creates a far stronger connection that grips both sides of the frame. The new Transmission derailleurs feature the same intuitive pairing and set-up procedure as our Eagle AXS derailleurs. Featuring an overload clutch that boosts resiliency and a tucked-in profile that houses protection covers on the B-knuckle and outer link that are fully replaceable, or upgradeable to the XX skid plate.

The X0 Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Cassette is a major reason why Eagle Transmission offers the best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load. Engineered as integrated and interdependent transmission components, the X0 Eagle Transmission Cassette and derailleur contact directly, ensuring perfect alignment on every bike. Beyond its unique and stunning Dark Polar finish and electroless nickel plating for incredible resistance to corrosion and wear, its full X-Sync design literally means the harder you pedal, the better it shifts. Its strength is further proven by its full approval for E-MTB use. It’s been built for a 55mm chainline for even more durability and precision thanks to milder chain angles throughout the full range, low to high. From its massive 520% gear range, the 52 tooth cog steps down with improved gear progression with 44 and 38 tooth cogs in the low end (compared to the Eagle drivetrain 10-52-tooth cassette). What else? It has a clearly marked Setup Cog, making install both simple and fool-proof.

FEATURES

• Full X-SYNC for best-ever inboard and outboard shifting performance under load
• Optimized gear steps on low end
• 55mm chainline compatibility for more moderate chain angle, longer wear and greater precision
• Setup Cog for fool-proof set up
• Features X-DOME with a lighter aluminum 12th gear
• Fully E-MTB approved

With Eagle Transmission being the first of its kind, fully integrated and interdependent system, the X0 Eagle Transmission (T-Type) Flattop Chain is so much more than just a chain. Its unique flat top design makes it the strongest change chain we have ever made. With equal importance, it upgrades the look of any super machine. These details matter. It features a Dark Polar finish specific to X0, has been plated with electroless nickel, and comes with a PVD coating for unbelievable resistance to corrosion and wear. Fully approved for E-MTB use with solid pins.

FEATURES

• Strongest SRAM chain ever
• Specifically engineered for Eagle Transmission
• Flattop profile, unbelievable shifting performance, game-changing aesthetics

Born from the legacy of two of the winningest brakes of all-time, SRAM Motive Silver matches the capabilities of XC-race and trail bikes. Modern stealth aesthetics and a bold polished black finish pair with wireless superbikes, while a sculpted 4-piston caliper delivers tunable heavy-duty power for traction and control. Motive opens the aperture on what’s possible, giving you the boundless power of more confidence, and in the process redefining what’s required from a low-weight brake. Motive. New powers to go ahead.

Known for its no-nonsense smooth cable actuation, short overall length, and easy serviceability, the OneUp Dropper is a solid choice for dependable and customizable performance.

The Maxxis Aspen is one of Maxxis' premier XC race tires. A low center tread height allows the Aspen to roll quickly but substantial - for XC - while side knobs provide cornering traction.

• MaxxSpeed: Maxxis' top-shelf rubber compound for XC racing. It’s a high-silica content compound which reduces rolling resistance while also enhancing wet traction. 
• EXO: A cut and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls.
