If you're after a trail bike that can handle everything from steep climbs to fast, rowdy descents, the 2025 Santa Cruz Blur 4 C GX AXS TR is worth a closer look. This bike mixes modern tech with thoughtful design so you get a ride that feels smooth, responsive, and dialed-in no matter where you take it.

Suspension

Up front, the FOX 34SC Float Performance Elite fork has 120mm of travel. This is enough to soak up tricky drops without wasting energy on climbs. The Grip SL damper keeps it stable and controlled, picking up on even small bumps. In the rear, you get a FOX Float Performance Elite shock that’s available in a standard or superlight version. It’s tuned for responsiveness and easy adjustment depending on what the trail throws at you.

Drivetrain

The bike is equipped with SRAM’s awesome GX Eagle AXS T-Type wireless drivetrain. Having no cables means fewer hassles and smoother, lightning-fast gear changes. The GX Eagle chain and crankset back it up with solid durability and efficient power transfer. GX Eagle has its own version of SRAM's, 520% 10-52t cassette, for more top end speed and a more comfortable climb. The 12-speed setup gives an equivalent range to a 2x11 setup. It's also backwards compatible, making replacement parts at the ready. According to SRAM, it’s the simplest, most trouble-free drivetrain system ever made, and has a significant weight advantage over other drivetrain systems.

Wheels and Tires

The wheels are RaceFace ARC Offset 27 rims wrapped around DT Swiss 370 hubs. They offer a mix of lightness and toughness. The offset design balances spoke tension, which helps keep your wheels trued longer. Matching tires are Maxxis Rekon 29x2.4s with a dual-compound tread that grips well but stands up to rocky, rough terrain thanks to the EXO casing.

Brakes

You'll also find a set of SRAM Level Bronze Stealth 4-piston brakes. They provide powerful and smooth control when the trail gets steep and technical.

Cockpit

The cockpit is designed for control and comfort. A Santa Cruz carbon flat bar with a modest rise pairs with a short SRAM Atmos stem, putting you in an efficient yet relaxed position. For quick saddle height changes, the OneUp Dropper Post works smoothly and reliably. The saddle itself, an SDG Bel-Air V3, balances comfort and sturdiness for those longer days on the trail. The Cane Creek 40 IS headset keeps steering smooth without adding unnecessary bulk.

Frame and Design

The frame ties it all together with lightweight carbon construction and a geometry that favors balanced climbing, descending, and cornering. Clean internal cable routing reduces snags and creates a sleek look.

This bike is built to do a little bit of everything on the trail. Whether you’re pushing your limits in rough technical sections or just out for a fun romp on smoother singletrack, the Blur 4 C GX AXS TR is ready for it.
