Additional Features

Split Pivot® Rear Suspension

The concentric rear axle pivot in conjunction with precise wheel link, brake link, and control link placement, results in several performance gains: Exceptional bump compliance / Maximum traction / Incredible pedaling efficiency / Predictable braking / Improved frame geometry due to the elimination of unwanted suspension movement during acceleration and braking

Backcountry Singletrack & Endurance Racing-Specific Suspension Travel

Within Deadwood 29+’s 91mm rear wheel travel is a surprising amount small bump sensitivity and supple braking performance. A progressive mid stroke provides support heading into and out of corners. Even on the bigger hits, the travel just doesn’t seem to want to run out. The volume of 29+ wheels and tires and the tuned anti-squat of the Split Pivot® suspension on the Deadwood 29+ lead to an efficient bike that shelters you from the bumps that would otherwise make for taxing hours and days. A 29+, 100mm travel 51mm offset front fork pairs exceptionally well with everything going on behind you

Ample Tire Clearance

Deadwood 29+ is designed to use tires ranging from 2.6 to 3.0" in width on up to a 45mm rims via BOOST 148 spacing. This tire size offers up huge traction, smooth rolling, and increased momentum, great for putting in miles and miles over extremely varied terrain with a planted and confident feel. But with a simple tire swap down to standard 29" widths (2.2–2.5"), Deadwood 29+ gets a snappier, faster accelerating feel, making it better suited for high-octane pursuits and any trail riding where increased agility is desired

Deadwood 29+ Geometry

Like its predecessor Spearfish, Deadwood 29+ continues pairing slack and low “trail bike” style geometry—68° head angle and 45mm BB drop— with travel amounts usually reserved only for steep and twitchy race bikes

High-Modulus Carbon Fiber Front Triangle and 6066-T6 Aluminum Stays

This material offers improved stiffness, better vibration damping, excellent toughness, and weight savings compared to other materials. This frame offers 340g weight savings over the aluminum version. 6066-T6 aluminum heat-treated seatstays and chainstays are paired for durability

Interior Junction Control Molding Technology

We use interior molds at all the main front triangle junctions during layup and curing. This allows for precise control of wall thickness and inner wall smoothness in these areas. This process increases compaction and reduces voids and wrinkles in critical high-stress zones. The end result is a high-quality, consistent performing carbon frame

Full-Size Bottle Compatible

Front triangle is capable of fitting a full-size (28 oz) water bottle 

PressFit 41 x 92 mm Bottom Bracket

Compatible with 1x and 2x standard mountain cranks, both GXP and 24mm spindle types

Modular Front Derailleur Bracket

The high direct-mount front derailleur bracket is removable, with a smooth cover blank to take its place, when 1x drivetrain is setup, providing a clean look and saving a few extra grams in the process

Replaceable Derailleur Hanger

Extra sold separately, Salsa Split Pivot® Top Cap Dropout Tool included with frame for field changes without the need to carry a 22mm cone wrench

Replaceable Sealed Cartridge Bearings

17287-2RS (Qty 4), 6801-2RS (Qty 4)

Dropper Post Compatible

Frame accommodates internal routing for a dropper post

Tapered Headtube

The modern standard for mountain bikes, increases front end frame and fork stiffness without adding significant weight
