Dopo averla vista sui campi di gara, guidata da Luca Braidot e dal suo team, ora Santa Cruz presenta ufficilmente la nuova Blur
Santa Cruz dichiara che il risparmio di peso rispetto al vecchio telaio è di 289 gr, mentre le nuove ruote Reserve 28 XC sono le più leggere mai prodotte dal brand californiano (1367gr la coppia).
Non ci sono parti proprietarie nel telaio.
La versione TR ha 115mm di escursione al posteriore e 120mm all’anteriore.
Born from Juliana’s cross-country racing heritage, Wilder takes us to a whole new level of lightweight speed and endurance. The 115mm of new Superlight™ suspension travel is matched to a super efficient carbon layup to create the lightest full-suspension bike in our line-up.
Saving weight means little without retaining an appropriate level of stiffness and responsiveness too. So we’ve taken all the acceleration and out-of-the-saddle sprint qualities of a carbon XC race rocket and fused them with a rear-end that still rails corners like a hardcore trail bike.
This unique XC-trail attitude is also reflected in the geometry. The head tube angle (67.1°) and reach (412mm on size small) is a little steeper and shorter than a Joplin to meet the demands of aggressive climbing, yet the Wilder’s seat tube angle is a touch slacker and the chainstays a little longer in order to retain that familiar Juliana confidence on descents. And talking of chainstays, each chainstay length is specific to the individual frame size; meaning riders of every height enjoy the same handling and performance no matter what.
Beyond the details, there are some bigger features that amplify this XC wild child’s abilities. Rapid rolling 29-inch wheels are paired with a 120mm fork to tame the feral lines and smooth the sketchiest of passing manoeuvres. There’s even room for two water bottles within the front triangle for bigger training and racing days.
If you’re game for a challenge and got some bucket list events to tick off, why not take a ride on the Wilder side of XC.
