Blur XC vs. LT
I recently received a question from a reader of this blog regarding the XC vs. LT version of the Blur:
Hey man, I'm 220 pounds and want to buy a trailbike. I might race it but rite now im just going to be riding it around upper NY state. Which bike should I get? Price doesnt matter. Thx!
Based off of your weight alone, I'd go with the Blur LT. It's beefier than the XC and is definitely intended as a trailbike. It's not too too heavy to race, either, if that's something you want to try eventually.
One other thing to consider. Taken straight from Santa Cruz's description of the Blur XC: "Comfort is secondary to speed."
Hope this helps...feel free to reply back with more questions!
