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
Trail Bike Suspension Travel
150mm of Split Pivot® rear wheel travel is tuned with a more progressive feel than our other suspension frames. This makes for a bike that climbs and pedals more efficiently than the travel might suggest, and offers an increased amount of support in the mid-stroke and end-stroke ramp-up for aggressive riders that are looking to charge hard in big terrain without over-riding the suspension. The frame is designed and balanced for a 150mm front fork, but can also be paired with a 160mm fork if desired
Versatile Wheel & Tire Options
Redpoint is designed for use with 27.5 x 2.3–2.5" wheels and tires, but thanks to the use of Boost-148 rear spacing, Boost-148 drivetrain components, and compatibility with 110mm-spaced 27.5" (42–44mm offset) forks, the Redpoint frame is also compatible with 26+ (26 x 3.0" tires on 45–50mm wide rims)
Redpoint Geometry
Low-slung with short 430mm chainstays, Redpoint is agile in tight terrain and rails through corners. A 66.9° head angle is just right; slack enough to the take full advantage of the bike’s travel and charge the descents, but also allows for a stable and well-mannered bike on the climbs. The Redpoint is a modern-day all-rounder capable of handling any trail on the mountain. The front-end trail of the Redpoint is designed around 42–44mm fork offset 27.5" forks
Boost-148 Technology
148 x 12mm rear spacing paired with a standard width bottom bracket results in the most tire clearance possible with the narrowest crank Q-factor, and also results in a stiffer and stronger rear wheel
Modern Fit
Redpoint is designed for a modern trail fit. This means a short stem, wider bar, and longer effective toptube are used to place the rider in the same position they are familiar with on their older trail bike. This results in a more precise steering motion due to the stem, lots of front wheel control with the wide bar, and plenty of front-center length and cockpit room for fore-aft body movement when things get rowdy. Each frame size is designed around a 50mm stem length and a wide bar. To maintain the correct hand position relative to the pedals and saddle, the Redpoint has a drastically longer horizontal toptube. No more need to size up when selecting a frame size with the intent of running 40–60mm stems. We built it in for you!
6066-T6 Aluminum Tubeset
Top-shelf, double and triple-butted, heat-treated 6066-T6 aluminum tubing is used throughout the frame. This 6000-series aluminum has better strength and fatigue characteristics than 6061 and 7000-series aluminums, allowing for a stronger and lighter overall frame. Additionally, the tubing is strategically shaped and formed for additional stiffness and strength optimization in key stress areas
High-Modulus Carbon Fiber Seatstays
Offers increased rear end stiffness and reduced weight over aluminum stays
Full-Size Bottle Compatible
Front triangle is capable of fitting a full-size (28 oz) water bottle
PF41 x 92mm Bottom Bracket w/ ISCG05 Tabs
Compatible with all 1x and 2x Boost-148 mountain cranks, both GXP and 24mm spindle types. ISCG05 tabs for chainguide mounting to increase chain security
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 6)
