'Been riding the Blur xc since May and can't fault it !!'
Strengths: Light, seems strong and no creaks and groans.
Weaknesses: None so far.
Overall: A great, light and what seems to be a strong frame. My riding has improved no end as i find my confidence levels are much higher. I am able to approach technical sections of a trail with the knowledge that the frame can handle the situation, and i need all the help i can get!!!!
Strengths: The VPP rear end, helps me to climb like never before.
Weaknesses: Have to set the rear shock up just right, but once you have it gets easier the next time.
Overall: Great looking, light and seems to be a strong frame. I had a 2003 Marin Mount Vision before and loved it, but the the Blur xc has blown me away by what i can do know when i'm out riding, and i need all the help i can get!!!
