  • Salsa Blackthorn Carbon XT

Description

For an all-mountain bike with an adventurous side, Blackthorn C XT is the ticket. Salsa designed the stiff carbon fibre frame around progressive geometry that feels planted on descents and climbs. We paired Blackthorn XTs 160 mm Fox Float 36 Performance Elite GRIP2 fork with a 140 mm Fox Float X Performance Elite shock that runs on our Split Pivot suspension platform for excellent small-bump compliance and support. A padded tube strap spot, top tube mount, and bottle mount allow for pack-free riding or extending your range. The Shimano XT 1 x 12 drivetrain and four-piston brakes keep you in control through testing terrain. Blackthorn C XT is a brilliant all-mountain bike equipped for a wide variety of singletrack adventures.
