BLUR XX-FA AXS RSV / Carbon CC

For mountain riding, it captures how the bike carries speed when you're pushing the pedals on less technical surfaces. It trends this way because of a light setup, typical trail-width tires, and a high-end drivetrain that tends to feel crisp under load. Net effect: the bike either carries speed well or feels like more work to keep it rolling.

Climb score: 9.7/10. Within Mountain bikes, it lands near the top. On climbs, the lowest gear feels very easy. That lowest gear comes out around 18.0 gear inches. Compared with similar bikes, this low gear is easier than about ~47% of them. “Gear inches” sounds nerdy, but it’s just a quick way to describe how easy your lowest gear is to turn uphill. Lower usually means easier. Weight is around 11.4 kg, which is typical for this kind of build. This kind of low gear helps you stay smooth on long or steep climbs. Specs can vary by size and build, and some manufacturer details aren’t always published, so treat this as a strong guide rather than a guarantee.

Suspension effectiveness is 6/10. That aligns with “Confident trail control”. This usually points to stronger bump control and steadier tracking when the surface gets choppy. With suspension in the front and rear, the bike can stay more settled through repeated bumps. Not every manufacturer lists complete suspension numbers, so the explanation relies on the suspension layout and what’s normal for this category. This level usually brings more reliable wheel tracking on rough patches and repeated hits.

Sporty fit - you'll lean forward more and feel ready to push the pace. You get this posture because you get a moderate drop: roughly 70 mm from saddle to bar, plus about 590 mm of stretch forward (very long). You'll likely be near 33 degrees of lean.

In Mountain / Crosscountry, So it lands in Moderately Adjustable. Fit adjustability is shaped by a few key choices: The cockpit is modular (separate stem and handlebar), so it is easier to adjust or swap fit parts, A more service-friendly routing setup makes changes easier, From the seatpost text provided, there are no strong constraints or bonuses. Another point: A dropper post adds practical adjustability while riding.

Ride comfort is 7.5/10 — on a real ride it feels comfortable. That’s the reason it lands as Comfortable. The posture is forward, attacking (posture 7/10, torso ~33°), which loads the front wheel, which feels great for control but a bit more direct through the bars.

This looks like a high asking price for the build level. Value is scored 1–10: higher is better value, lower means you’re paying more than similar bikes. Uses MSRP as a baseline; real-world prices can be lower (discounts can change the value). On the spec comparison, it sits roughly 255% above what similar builds typically cost. In its peer group, it’s one of the pricier listings, beating only about 2% of them. To anchor it: price €12.999 versus an estimated €3.658 for a similar build. Overall, you can likely find better value elsewhere.

This setup is aimed at fast trail riding on less extreme terrain. It has about 115 mm of suspension travel (how much it absorbs bumps), which suits smoother trails. The Full, Electronic setup supports this riding style.
