The Santa Cruz Blur 90 is a lightweight full-suspension mountain bike built for riders who want efficient climbing, responsive handling, and the confidence to ride fast through flowing singletrack and technical terrain. Blending cross-country efficiency with a more playful, trail-focused personality, the Blur 90 feels right at home on everything from tight wooded trails to rocky descents and long backcountry rides.
Built around Santa Cruz’s premium carbon frame and proven VPP™ suspension platform, the Blur 90 delivers a smooth, supportive ride that keeps traction high and fatigue low over rough terrain. The 90mm rear suspension setup offers excellent pedaling efficiency while still soaking up roots, rocks, and trail chatter, making it ideal for riders who want a bike that’s fast on the climbs but still lively and capable when the trail points downhill.
The Blur 90 is especially well suited for Midwest and Upper Peninsula riding, where fast-rolling terrain, punchy climbs, and endless singletrack reward a bike that can accelerate quickly while staying composed through technical sections. Whether you’re carving through the flow trails at WinMan, covering miles on the rolling terrain around Rhinelander, or taking on the rocky features and rugged descents of Copper Harbor, the Blur 90 brings the perfect balance of efficiency, control, and trail-ready fun.
With modern geometry, 29” wheels, and a lightweight build, the Blur 90 encourages riders to go farther, ride faster, and stay playful on every section of trail.
