Full-Suspension

Salsa Blackthorn Deore brings together performance and adventure. The aluminum frame is stiff enough to keep you on your line and durable enough to toss in a truck bed for shuttling. Our progressive geometry and Split Pivot suspension design offer a well-balanced platform for pedaling, descending, and taking on technical features. A 140 mm RockShox Super Deluxe Select shock and 160 mm RockShox 35 Gold RL fork ensure plenty of travel for gnarly drops, gaps, and other features. On-bike cargo features like a down tube strap, top tube mounts, and a bottle mount let you keep the weight of your ride gear down low on the frame so you're free to move your body without the burden of a pack. With Shimano's robust Deore 1 x 12 drivetrain backing you up, you'll find very few limits out there. Blackthorn Deore is the 29er all-mountain bike for big rides on diverse terrain. KEY FEATURES: SPLIT PIVOT® REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM: Split Pivot provides a host of impressive suspension characteristics because the system isolates pedaling forces and braking forces from each other, allowing us to tune and optimize the bike for both independently. The concentric rear axle pivot, in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in: Excellent bump compliance / Incredible pedaling efficiency / Smooth and predictable braking throughout travel / Maximum traction. SPLIT PIVOT + Split Pivot + is our suspension development philosophy that allows riders to swap suspension travel within a single chassis. PURPOSE-TUNED SUSPENSION The Blackthorn-specific control link and shock links optimize the frame geometry and kinematics for its suspension travel, delivering a well-rounded, balanced trail feel. PROGRESSIVE GEOMETRY Blackthorn is long, low, and slack, with a dash of moderation to preserve pedaling performance. A 64.6-degree head tube angle and short-offset fork feel confident when descending loose, steep trails or blasting through rock gardens. A steep 76.5-degree seat tube angle and consistent cockpit sizing makes for a comfortable pedaling position, while the moderate bottom bracket height provides stability at speed without sacrificing pedaling performance in technical sections. The long front center provides stability in extreme terrain while the short 432 mm chainstays make for nimble handling in tight situations. FLIP CHIP 2.0 Integrated into the shock link mount, Flip Chip 2.0 allows simple, quick adjustments to bottom bracket height and head tube angle to account for the rider’s personal preference, terrain, or wheel size and tire diameter. EPS CARBON MAIN TRIANGLE WITH CARBON SEATSTAYS AND ALUMINUM CHAINSTAYS EPS construction allows for greater manufacturing control, smooth surfacing, a simplified bottom bracket junction, and an integrated shock mount. Carbon fiber material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent toughness and weight savings compared to other materials. 6066-T6 aluminum heat-treated chainstays add durability. TOP TUBE ACCESSORY MOUNTS Top tube mounts accommodate K-Edge Top Tube Mount for bike computers or the Salsa EXP Series Direct Mount Top Tube Bag. DOWN TUBE THREE-PACK MOUNTS Three-Pack mounts on down tube accommodate a large water bottle on the lower pair and a frame-mounted pump bracket on the upper pair. INTEGRATED REPAIR KIT LOCATION Located in front of the rear shock in the front triangle, we provide a dedicated place for a small repair kit, tube, or bag of gummies. No more loading up your pockets or strapping the essentials to random spots on the frame and damaging the frame finish. Carbon frames feature an integrated reinforced slot and frame protection. Aluminum frames feature a machined strap slot. The slot is sized to accommodate most 3/4"- to 1"-wide straps. A Salsa Tube Strap is included with each frame (Salsa Tube Straps are for use with tubes only) ACCOMMODATES A 26 OZ BOTTLE All Blackthorn sizes accept a standard 26 oz water bottle within the front triangle. INTERNAL SLEEVED CABLE ROUTING Internal tubes guide housing through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance, and creating a clean bike profile. MOLDED FRAME PROTECTION Molded rubber down tube, seat tube, chainstay, and seatstay guards protect your frame from impacts and abrasion. MULLET BUILD COMPATIBILITY Mullet build compatibility lets riders run a 29" wheel in the front and a 27.5" wheel in the back with minimal impacts to geometry. CHAIN GUIDE-COMPATIBLE Blackthorn frames feature ISCG-05 mounts for chain guides (removable on carbon frames). STEALTH DROPPER POST ROUTING Compatible with 30.9mm dropper posts for true trail bike performance.

The Sight A3 SRAM boosts your All-Mountain confidence with incredible descending capability, adept, sure-footed climbing, and efficient pedaling. To make the Sight Aluminum, we had to re-think how you connect with the trail. With maximum front and rear wheel grip on climbs and descents, Sight A3 SRAM maintains momentum and cadence in technical situations and allows the suspension to move freely without absorbing drivetrain energy. REASONS IT'S RAD - Precise tune and fit perfects every ride. - Max standover with long travel dropper posts. - Sweating the little stuff makes the ride better. - Four piston brakes with 200/180mm rotors. - Features the Ride Aligned™ Design System.

The Ripley AF is our beloved, category-defying, short-travel, singletrack-scorching Ripley - rendered in aluminum, with more aggressive geometry. All the sizzle and pop of the carbon Ripley, now available as a complete bike at a wallet friendly price.

A top-flight E-Enduro bike, with the right geometry numbers in all the right places, the HC4 helps build rider confidence when tackling the steepest and most technical terrain. Mixed wheel sizes make for dynamic cornering, and the burly 180/170mm suspension platform soaks up the biggest jumps. The Shimano EP801 motor and 720Wh battery ensure all-day fun either in the bike park or on the mountain.

Scale mountains, descend with style. The MC2 is an All-Mountain 150mm travel eMTB that knows no boundaries. A dynamic, aluminium chassis supports superb handling on every trail surface with the MC2 coming equipped with the new Shimano EP6 motor, creating a powerful-but-natural ride feel.

For those alloy eMTB lovers, the G Trail 2.0 ticks all the right boxes. Trail focused and ready to clock up some serious mileage, it’s built for big days on the hill. Balanced geometry ensures it can climb every bit as hard as it descends, while the 29" wheel set makes for confident cornering when descending and fast rolling speeds on flow trails. Suspension travel is increased over its predecessor and now boosted to 150mm, meaning there’s that little bit extra for when the mountain gets a little rowdier than expected.Fitted with a 250W Yamaha PW-ST motor, the G Trail 2.0 has ample pedal-assist support, while the Simplo 630Wh integrated battery will keep all range anxiety at bay. RockShox take care of suspension duties. SRAM components ensure both braking and shifting are on point.

The G Trail 1.0 is our short-travel trail bike. With 130mm of suspension, it’s a nimbler handler than its G Trail bigger brothers. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s not as capable. A bike that’s ideal for days where rowdy is not on the menu, the G Trail 1.0 still gets the juices flowing, just fuss-free. Fast rolling with super-efficient and responsive handling, it’s happiest soaking up mile after mile of flow trails. Go chase those mountain-top Kodak moments on the G Trail 1.0.The G Trail 1.0 features the 250W Yamaha PW-ST 70Nm motor with five pedal-assist modes including Automatic Support where the motor continuously adapts the power mode to suit terrain and effort exerted by the rider. SR SUNTOUR suspension, Tektro components and Continental tires complete the build.
