That's still true of the newest Blur 5 with a sub 2kg frame weight making light builds and crazy uphill speeds possible, but some big geometry and design changes also make this the most trail friendly Blur we've seen in many years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slight bump up in travel to 120mm at the rear combines with substantial increases in Reach, slackened angles and a more progressive linkage to give the Blur 5 a set of angles and on trail manners that's closer to a modern trail bike than the XC bikes of old. If you've never ridden a modern XC bike like this, you'll be shocked by how fast they can descend on most trails. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/2769\/0849\/files\/SantaCruzBikes-Blur5-Geometry-2027-TweedValleyBikes_e663ca9c-1515-41f7-810a-1de7818d817a.jpg?v=1786093019\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd to that in frame storage, mounting points for tools and you've suddenly got a bike that's up for much more than just XC racing alone.
