Salsa Blackthorn Carbon SLX Bike

• Stiff carbon fiber material damps vibration and offers excellent toughness and weight savings compared to other materials
• Split Pivot+ frame design allows you to swap the link set, shock and fork to convert your Blackthorn frame to accommodate more suspension travel (165 mm rear and 180 mm front)
• Split Pivot rear suspension system with concentric rear axle pivot isolates pedaling and braking forces from each other, for independent tuning, traction and control
• Shimano SLX drivetrain and 4-piston brakes keep you in control when you push the limit
• Progressive suspension offers plenty of bottom-out performance at the end of the stroke, promoting more confidence and control on bigger hits
• Flip Chip 2.0 technology integrated into the shock link mount allows easy, quick adjustments to bottom bracket height and head tube angle with just a hex key or multi-tool
• EPS Carbon main triangle with carbon seatstays, aluminum chainstays and an integrated shock mount allows for greater control
• Three-Pack downtube mounts accommodate a large water bottle on the lower pair and a pump on the upper pair (accessories not included)
• Top tube mounts accommodate K-Edge Top Tube Mount for bike computers or the Salsa EXP Series Direct-Mount Top Tube Bag
• Salsa EXP Series Tube Strap and an integrated frame mount attach to top tube for a secure connection that won't scuff the paint
• Accommodates standard 26 fl. oz. water bottle within the front triangle
• Internal tubes guide the cable housing through the frame, simplifying setup and maintenance and creating a clean bike profile
• TranzX YSI05 dropper post is height-adjustable by 30mm—total travel varies by frame size—and includes a Shimano remote lever
• Stealth Dropper post routing runs internally and is compatible with 30.9mm dropper posts
• Molded frame protection guards downtube, seat tube, chainstay, and seatstay from impacts and abrasions on the frame
• Blackthorn is spec'd as a 29er, but can also run 27.5 x 2.8–3.0 in. wheels and tires
• Pedals not included; specs and images are subject to change
