Blackthorn C SLX, designed by Salsa from the dirt up to lead the all-mountain category.

The Blackthorn C SLX stands out in the carbon all-mountain bike field for its capability and value. The progressive geometry feels planted on descents and steep climbs. A 160 mm RockShox Lyrik Select+ RC fork and 140 mm Fox Float X Performance shock with Split Pivot suspension design grants you the poise to plow through rock gardens, send drops, and hit doubles with confidence. Blackthorn brings you the benefits of pack-free riding, thanks to the integrated down tube strap, top tube mounts, and a bottle mount. Shimano's SLX 1 x 12 drivetrain and four-piston brakes are components you can rely on.

Great fun
I really enjoyed my first few rides on the Blackthorn. It's a great bike. I did size up from the small to the medium, being right at the border of the recommended sizing. The saddle height works much better for me on the medium for hill climbs and longer rides. I suppose if you were to use it purely for downhill bikeparks (especially with uplift facilities), the smaller size would be brilliant. Biketart were great at arranging an exchange super quickly. Just ordered some pedals to go with the bike too.
