Never wanting to disappoint the more aggressive fans of the Blur XC, Santa Cruz has upped the ante with the Blur LT. Truly the definition of a killer trail bike if there ever was one. The rear wheel travel has been bumped up to 135 mm, and the beefier head tube junction is happy to handle a longer travel fork. You want 160 mm of travel up front? Go ahead kid; the world is your oyster. The bottom bracket is a bit higher, and the head tube has been slackened a pinch so all you have to do is worry about hanging on and savoring everything from seemingly endless, loamy single track to the most unforgiving of rock-strewn fire roads.
