Here’s Santa Cruz’s long-awaited Blur Virtual Pivot Point full susser, freshly arrived at BIKEmagic. First impressions are good, it looks a lot better in the metal than in most of the photos we’ve seen that made it look a bit spindly and gawky. This is a large anodised frame (£1,499), there’s also a painted option for £150 less.

So far we’ve just poked around at it and played with the rear suspension. We’ll head out on some hefty rides and bring you a full test soon…

In the meantime, you can find out more from the Santa Cruz UK website.
