29-Inch Plus Wheel

The meandering trails of your dreams just got a whole lot closer thanks to Salsa's new iteration of the Deadwood. Wild bikepacking trips, epic point-to-point endurance bouts, and technical trail dominance—it's all yours with massively capable 29 x 3-inch tires and short-travel Split Pivot suspension design that work together to keep you moving efficiently. High-modulus carbon fiber provides excellent weight savings and vibration damping characteristics that contribute to a quiet, lively ride, while the frame's endurance geometry ensures you'll stay in the saddle longer thanks to its comfortable riding posture.

Fargo is Salsa's original drop bar mountain bike. A bit of a cult classic, it’s designed for mixed surface riders and bikepackers who want the versatility to take any route and the capability to carry everything needed when they’re out for days on end. That’s why Fargo has a triple-butted Cobra Kai steel frame that is as forgiving as it is reliable on weeks-long expeditions. Its carbon Firestarter fork pairs nicely with the frame and offers bosses and mount points for anything you’d want to attach to a bicycle fork. The Fargo Apex 1 is built up with SRAM’s trustworthy 1x11-speed Apex drivetrain with the range to get you and your gear anywhere and the simplicity to purify your riding experience. That’s paired up with hydraulic Apex brakes that won’t shy away from any descent, so you needn’t, either. You're welcome to roll over nearly anything, thanks to the 29 x 2.6-inch Maxxis Ikons that deliver low rolling resistance, traction-on-demand, and a smooth ride. And, wide-angle Salsa Woodchipper bars offer the hand positions of a drop bar with the wide stance control of a mountain bar so you can keep fresh hauling yourself and your gear all day long and still get rad when conditions call for it.

Breaking the Mold with a 29er Bike As the first "plus" bike to hit the market, Krampus changed the way many people approach trail riding. It's shown people the light of how high volume, large diameter tires can vastly improve the ride experience. It's also done a bang-up job dispelling the myth that big tires make you slow. Krampus is kind of like the opposite of a mullet: long in the front and short in the rear. With a long toptube and compact chainstays, it takes trail-shredding abilities to the next level. A mullet may be business in the front, party in the back but Krampus makes partying its business. "Lean back, hang on, and ride that wild horse." -Thor - Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles, suspension corrected fork - Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though) - Clearance for 29" x 3" tires

The meandering trails of your dreams just got a whole lot closer thanks to Salsa's new iteration of the Deadwood. Wild bikepacking trips, epic point-to-point endurance bouts, and technical trail dominance — it's all yours with capable 29 x 2.6-inch tires paired to a short-travel Split Pivot suspension design that work together to keep you moving efficiently. Heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum gives you a lightweight, stiff, and strong top-shelf platform, while the frame's endurance geometry ensures you'll stay in the saddle longer thanks to its comfortable riding posture. The Deadwood NX features SRAM's workhorse 1x11-speed NX drivetrain, SRAM Level hydraulic brakes, a RockShox Monarch RT3 Debonair rear shock, and a RockShox Recon RL 120mm fork to give you all-terrain prowess when you're out crushing the long trail.

When it comes to having things your way, no bike is as accommodating as the Salsa Woodsmoke. The light carbon frame and ultra-short chainstays bring out the best of the fast-rolling 29er wheels for tons of cross-country fun. Not feeling like head-to-toe lycra today? The Woodsmoke will happily accept 29+ wheels for gobs of speed and traction or slap on a pair of 27.5+ wheels for tight berm swooping with grip to spare. RockShox knows a thing or two about suspension and cover that ground, amply soaking up the rough with a 120mm Yari Solo Air fork. A huge front triangle accepts large frame bags for bikepacking adventures, and internal shifter and dropper post routing ensures your bike's important parts work when they need to. A Shimano SLX 1x11 drivetrain offers plenty of grunt for slow, technical climbs, and Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes are paired with 180mm rotors to keep you out of trouble on crazy-fast descents. Sun Ringle Duroc rims keep 3-inch WTB tires rolling true across rowdy trails, and the KS dropper post lets you instantly get into the right spot for fast climbs and even faster descents. Big wheels. Big plans. Big fast fun.
