Introducing The 2018 Salsa Split Pivot Full-Suspension Lineup

We are excited to introduce our 2018 Salsa full-suspension trail bike lineup.

Whether your goal is to quickly and efficiently cover distance, play from edge to edge on any singletrack trail, or find lines hidden amongst burly, big country terrain, our signature geometry and the incredible capability of the Split Pivot suspension platform let you confidently aim for bigger and bolder adventures.

In the simplest terms, Split Pivot keeps your suspension active during acceleration and braking, but climb on board and you’ll immediately notice the following benefits from Split Pivot’s rear axle pivot:

Exceptional bump compliance

Maximum traction

Incredible pedaling efficiency

Predictable braking

Improved bike stance due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking

INTRODUCING THE 2018 SALSA SPLIT PIVOT TRAIL BIKE LINEUP

DEADWOOD

Deadwood is our 29+ full-suspension trail bike. The rolling prowess of 29 x 2.6” tires with true-tracking, sure footed Split Pivot suspension gives “rubber adhesive” a whole new meaning. The 29 x 2.6” wheels paired with 120mm front and 91mm rear travel yields a momentum-holding, flat corner-crushing ride whether racing or connecting widely-spaced points on unfamiliar maps.

REDPOINT

Redpoint is our 27.5” wheeled 150mm travel trail bike for tackling the roughest and most remote mountain terrain. Redpoint’s layout strikes that fine balance between trail bike climbing prowess and descending chops. You’ll finish ascents with plenty of gas left in the tank for wide-open runs down the other side.
