Selma Ti
The Selma Ti is our dedicated singlespeed for the truly committed, hardcore SS rider. The bike is the perfect blend of titanium and our Alternator dropouts, with no provisions for running gears.
Titanium tubing provides the finest ride quality: a delectable mix of low weight, stiffness, and vibration damping.
The Alternator dropouts provide quick and secure wheel adjustment and have proven themselves in the longest, toughest, races and rides.
In fact, Salsa sponsored rider Gerry Pflug won the 2011 NUE Series Singlespeed Champion aboard an Alternator-equipped Selma Ti. Of course, your results may vary!
Ti tubing, Salsa geometry, big wheels, and the simplicity of a singlespeed drivetrain…sounds beautiful to us.
Hit the local singletrack or take on a big 100-miler, just remember that you’ve got to spin to win.
Selma Ti…simply beautiful, beautifully simple.
