Steel is this years carbon and Salsa are the masters of steel. The classic retro look but modern design and manufacturing techiques make Salsa frames modern classics.

We stock a small range and have them all in stock for test riding.

AlaCarte

 

The Ala Carte has been getting the job done for over 25 years now. Whether you’re a retrogrouch or someone who just likes to keep things simple, functional, and realistic, the Ala Carte stands as a contemporary tribute to mountain biking’s historic past.

A classic ride with classic good looks.

In a world filled with nanotechnology, miraculous pivot locations, and heaping amounts of travel, the Ala Carte is a reminder that ‘newer’ doesn’t always mean ‘better’, and that steel is still real.

The Ala Carte’s True Temper OX Platinum frame is lovingly paired with our suspension corrected CroMoto fork. The frameset presents a clean profile with its disc brake only construction.

The balanced Salsa geometry lends itself equally to climbing and descending while the steel tubing provides the durability and ride quality it’s famous for. The CroMoto fork is well mannered and provides a surprising amount of trail dampening. The young pups in the audience might not know it, but everybody used to ride rigid!

El Santo

 

If rough, rocky, rooty cross-country trails are the problem, El Santo is Salsa’s solution.

Designed around a 100mm suspension fork, the rear end delivers a matching four inches of suspension travel. Its scandium frame utilizes a forged and CNC-machined rocker arm, and sealed cartridge bearings to activate a RockShox MC 3.3 air shock. It’s an effective and proven suspension design that grapples with the best of them.

Generous standover height and tire clearance for 2.3” tires make El Santo even more capable. For the vertically blessed or challenged, our XS through XL frame sizes have you covered.

Lightweight and efficient, El Santo is the perfect platform for a plethora of possibilities. All day trail bike? Ultra light XC bike or adventure racer? Solo 24-hour machine? Build it to be the bike you want.

Dos Niner

 

The Dos Niner stands proudly as a definitive part of modern Salsa history. Our first 29’er design, the scandium pivotless softie continues to earn praise from the folks that ride it. Its Relish shock provides 1" of rear wheel travel, which is just enough to take the edge off things when combined with the extra smoothness provided by its 29" wheels.

Our custom-drawn scandium tubing makes the pivotless Dos Niner possible. Scandium’s increased fatigue life allows the chainstays to withstand the flex cycles that would cause other materials to fail.

Disc brake only, the Dos Niner presents a clean, minimalist profile.

With clearance for tires up to 2.3" in the rear and generous standover height, the Dos Niner rolls on as a formidable off-road machine. It delivers high-speed 29’er fun with traction to spare while smoothing out roots and rocks better than a smaller wheel.
