Just for the factory riders, these custom Santa Cruz Blurs are built for light-duty DH racing.
They feature a stock rear suspension setup, but a custom front triangle. The head tube is from a V10, with a stronger head tube gusset and relocated shock mount to accomodate the 5th Element. Travel is still under 5", and paired with a 5" travel fork the bike it perfect for mild DH courses that require pedaling (ie: Sea Otter, Downievielle, etc).
Thanks to Chris Hanna for taking the pics, these are linked from the Transcend web site.
