It better come in raw carbon or flat black. I'm not sure what the deal is with all these eye-searing colours lately but they do nothing for me.

Good video.....shows how people in the bike industry are out of touch with reality about the issue. "What's the big problem?" I couldn't give a shit about wheel size but if I'm gonna drop $5k on a Santa Cruz I wanna know the one I choose won't be the lemon size that the industry throws on the scrap heap. That is the issue. Looks like a pretty sick bike though!!

I don't see it going the way of the dodo, all the big parts companies are now on board and apparently Sea Otter will be a 27.5 fest.

Looks slick. If it rides anything like a carbine 275 it will rock.

Looks like it'll have better geo, so should be heaps more slammin.

It's hear to stay. It's one of the most logical bike evolutions for a while IMO.

I'd say so. Exciting times. Fast forward evolution. What will be the hot geo is the main risk of buying a 27" bike, but it's not that diverse anyway.

For the most part it's a wheelsize that's been tested in the wild by mtbikes rank and file....SC haven't had to do a great deal to get a new bike out there to suit the demand.

It's an enduro bike , bike mountain stuff . I thought they might make one with a little less travel though a trail 27.5 blur . The blur lt is the radst bike ever , just the TT is strange and if it rides like the blur lt it will be one sick ride .

They have improved on some of the issues with the VPP that the Blur LT had. So it should ride better.

More Anti-squat, and a higher leverage ratio like the Tallboy LT.

I've been wondering about this. Trying to imagine 10 yrs from now ... will there still be 3 main wheel sizes, or will 26 slowly disappear, leaving 29 and 27.5? I wouldn't be surprised if it did. But I hope it don't happen fast, as I can't afford another bike right now.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A devolution so to speak. I haven't gone 29 purely because I'm 5'7 so this wheel size is greatly interesting + I haven't bought a new bike in several years. So the industry has me.
