Zipping up fire roads is more fun when we have the responsive and aggressive Santa Cruz Blur Carbon S Trail Complete Mountain Bike underneath us. This zippy cross-country trail bike has us riding further and faster than usual while out in the woods. The trail version of the bike receives the slacker and longer treatment that's needed for the gnarly cross-country race courses seen today.

Spec on the Blur puts us at a point that we can enjoy ultra-reliable components that are easily upgradeable without breaking the bank.

The tires are tubeless out of the box, and Stans No Tube's Tire Sealent makes sure our rides won't stop due to pinch flats or small punctures.
